It is better not to take steroids while getting vaccinated. As it may lower your immune response. It is not advised to stop the steroid abruptly. I personally think it is better to wait till your steroids gets tapered and then get vaccinated.

You shouldn't be taking predmet as this would decrease your body immune mechanism to react to the vaccine. You can continue other antihistaminics for your allergy but stop taking predmet to get adequate immune response for vaccination.
