Dupixent & Covid shot?

I have gotten the J&J vaccine shot yesterday. I am wondering would it be safe to take my Dupixent shot today?

Although there is no specific research I am aware of, in my opinion you should be fine receiving your Dupixent shot to keep your atopic dermatitis under control.
Yes. Thanks for the question. Dupixent inhibits two Inflammatory mediators which are not necessary for response to the vaccine, but there is no study showing any interaction. When uncertain, it is best to wait 14 days after the vaccine before taking any possible interacting drugs.

Wait five days
