Considerations for Timing of Vaccination for Persons Using Immunosuppressive Therapies

Administration of COVID-19 vaccines should not be delayed in patients taking immunosuppressive therapies.

Whenever possible, COVID-19 vaccines should be administered at least 2 weeks before initiation or resumption of immunosuppressive therapies.

For patients who receive B-cell-depleting therapies on a continuing basis, COVID-19 vaccines should be administered approximately 4 weeks before the next scheduled therapy.
