Any data on having this and getting #covid #conora #covid19 #covid-19 vaccine yet?

[@immunedeficiencyfoundation]

Hi Craig - At this time, the best recommendation IDF can make is that you consult with your immunologist or primary care physician. They know your personal health history the best and you can ask your questions and learn more about the vaccines that may be available so you can make an educated decision about a COVID vaccine. Your physician may also strongly suggest that everyone in your household get a vaccine so that they are protected which will in turn provide you with further protection should you not fully respond to a vaccine. Thank you.

@@CraigMullins1 Yes, you can get an antibody test. Please let me know your results as I am currently not getting the vaccine since SiGa Deficient ppl don't build a lot antibodies I don't feel it's worth the risk.

Would IgA deficiency cause a dryness of the mucous membranes in the oral and nasal passages given that IgA has secretory properties?
