Can I receive the COVID-19 vaccine if I am immune compromised or taking immune suppressing medications like steroids?

This vaccine was not studied in these populations. This is not a live vaccine, so it should not pose any risk of infection to immune compromised persons. Being immune compromised is not a contraindication to receiving this vaccine. Being immune compromised may reduce the effectiveness of the vaccine. Due to the wide variety of immune compromising medications and conditions, we recommend you discuss your medication and/or condition with your doctor to understand the optimal strategy for receiving your COVID vaccine.
