What info are other's getting about taking the covid vaccination? If you've taken it did you have any side effects?

 <inline-mention username="Cbryant63" user-id="4133553"/> There is substantial information from the American College Of Rheumatologyregarding the interaction of the COVID-19 vaccine and various medications for Rheumatological purposes. Here is a reference page that lays out most of the scope of ACR suggestions about taking the vaccine. https://www.rheumatology.org/Practice-Quality/Clinical-Support/COVID-19-Guidance You ask if others have had the vaccine and its impact. I have had the vaccine and did well. I suggest it to everyone I know. rick - Moderator
