Is covid vaccine safe for RA and CKD
Hi, my mother (59,F) was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and chronic kidney disease (biopsy reported it as acute pyelonephritis) in March 2020. Her sr. creatinine levels are at 1.8. I wanted to know if she could get vaccinated for covid-19. If yes, do we need to stop any medication for a while? She currently uses folic acid tablets (once a day) for anemia, T sobisis (alternate days), folitrax to reduce inflammation (once a week), Defcort 5mg (one tablet a week) for arthritis, hcqs-200 (twice a week) for RA. She also has to take cresp-25mcg once every 15 days to prevent drastic decline in her haemoglobin levels.
