How long is safe to get covid booster after a 5 day burst of 60 mg prednisone l how long to wait?

Some state you don't have to wait to get the booster, but I think a 2week wait allows your immune system to regain potency.

Agree with Dr. Colantino. A two week rest period would be useful. It is good that you are taking the vaccine. Get a Flu shot also. Wish you good health!
