Hi,
My son has been on remicade for a number of years and, of course, Covid brings concerns re infection, etc.
Very positive news on the results of the two vaccines!! However, I have a question, are mRNA vaccines considered 'live' vaccines? Can someone on a biologic or any immunosuppressive medication safely receive these vaccines?
I'm attached an article which I found discussing mRNA vaccines but I certainly don't fully understand all the material.
It states that mRNA vaccines are non-infectious, so I 'think' that means it would be safe but I'm not sure if I'm understanding the details correctly.
If anyone can provide their thoughts and/or some clarity, I'd greatly appreciate it!
