I am currently on methotrexate and humira for rheumatoid arthritis, and was wondering with the corona virus spreading, what preventative measures apart from wearing a face mask, i can take to protect myself? are there any vaccinations available?

Handwashing: Handwashing and use of hand sanitizer solution, eating well and avoiding crowds are some measures to avoid acquiring a communicable illness. The use of the immunosuppression and immune modulatory medications may predispose you to infection, and vaccines including the influenza vaccine, pneumovax and other standard vaccines are effective. Please check with your physician.
