Is there any information on covid vaccination when receiving or having received other monoclonal antibody treatments or immunotherapies?

By theory it should not contradict each other. Vaccine still works even if you receives monoclonal antibodies or immunotherapy. That explains why CDC still recommends vaccination post infection.

If one is treated with those treatments their ability to form antibodies after vaccinations is impaired. However some studies indicate that the other infection fighters, the T cells, can still recognize and destroy virus infected cells even after immunotherapies.
