Please check out: https://www.humira.com/covid19 where it states :HUMIRA patients may receive vaccines, except for live vaccines." The COVID vaccines that are currently being used are NOT live vaccines. Please don't ask us to make any treatment recommendations. If you still have questions, discuss with your personal physician.
