Can I receive the COVID vaccine if I am taking prednisone?

Yes, it is possible to receive the COVID vaccine while taking prednisone. However, prednisone may have a greater effect on the immune system if taken at a higher dose for an extended period of time. This could potentially reduce the immune response to the vaccine, making it less effective. It is recommended to discuss your specific situation with your healthcare provider to determine the best course of action.
