Has anyone gotten the Covid vaccine on the same day as their Chemo(mine's <a data-ga="smart-link_click" href="/treatments/velcade">Velcade</a>)? Any problem doing this? Should I reschedule my chemo? Thanks

No 5 days later for the vaccine

My doc said chemo is ok but no steroids( (Dex) until after my second shot. Apparently, the steroids reduce the effectiveness of the vaccine.

That's what I'm hearing too. The Covid Vaccines need time to work.
