I had Pfizer's shots. The second was 2 weeks before the first RITUXON. I had no reaction to either shots or the RITUXON.

I receive Rutuxion infusions twice a year. Once every six months. I received covid 1st shot with no side effects. I receive the 2nd shot today. I had to wait 2 weeks after the 2nd shot to receive the Rutuxion infusion.

I was scheduled for my 6 month rituxan infusion in January. My rheumatologist told me to have the Covid vaccine first. So I just received my 2nd injection of Moderna on Jan. 24th and am now scheduled for the first rituxan infusion on March 18th and the second infusion on April 1st. She told me the same thing so my daughter took care of scheduling my Covid vaccines or I would have to wait until late summer to have my rituxan. I had no problems with the vaccine so I am eagerly awaiting my infusions and hope it relieves some of my pain and stiffness.
