Multiple Myeloma Treatment and relapse

Steroids and immunity
Respected sir/madam,
Exactly 28 days before because of covid pneumonia I was on steroid injection(Dexamethasone) for five days..then Dexamethasone 4mg BID for next five days and then same tab once daily for last 5 days...(total 15 days)
I have no medical history
So I would like to know how long does the immunity become less since steroids are immunosuppresants?
And how long do I have to be worried about mucormycosis? Its been exactly 24 says since I became covid negative.
