Finishing 12 days of prednisone for various issues. how long after my last day on pred should i wait before getting flu shot and covid booster? i'm not acutely ill anymore, but i know i should wait until pred is out of my system before my shots?

The vaccinations may be administered as per the usual protocol as advised by your physician. One day after finishing steroids, the COVID 19 vaccination may be obtained. Steroid injections should be scheduled after the COVID 19 vaccination rather than beforehand. Shingles vaccination should be administered two weeks or more after the COVID 19 vaccination.
