Hi First time post here. I have psoriatic arthritis and had my Covid-19 vaccines in March and May.

Hi, I am 54 and have recently been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. I have just started on hydroxychloraquine. The thing is my husband has given up on social distancing now as he thinks that being double vaccinated makes us safe. I have tried to point out that I may be more at risk from covid with having RA but he…
