Hello. If you are talking about covid vaccine. Then its not just safe but also very important for her to receive it. As she is immunosupressed. She should be getting 2 doses and a third booster dose as well. Hope it helps. Also if she is constantly on prednisolone then you must consult a rheumat as regular prednisolone is harmful for the body and there are much better treatments that she can resort to for control of her disease.

As it is, long term steroids aren't encouraged these days in rheumatoid arthritis. Better treatment options are available now. So I suggest to book a consultation with me & take proper treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Regarding vaccination, well it's safe for patients with rheumatoid arthritis, including covid-19 vaccination.
