A member asked:
I took the first two tabs, 8 mg total, in a medrol pack for a sinus infection 6 days after i got a covid booster. will the prednisolone diminish the effectiveness of the vaccine?

Steroids such as Medrol is not an effective T cell inhibitor (the cells involved in the body response to vaccines) so I think 8 mg of Medrol should not diminish the Covid booster dose's effectiveness that much.
