COVID-19 Vaccines and People with HIV Frequently Asked Questions
https://www.hivma.org/globalassets/covid-19-vaccines-hiv-faq.pdfWill the vaccine be effective or recommended if I have CD4 < 200 / A low immune system?• The CDC advises that people who are immunocompromised, including people with HIV, be eligible to
receive the vaccine because of their potential increased risk for serious illness due to COVID-19. The
safety and effectiveness in immunocompromised populations is not yet known, however, particularly
whether the protection from COVID-19 will be as strong as it is for the general population.

Subject: CD 4 change with COVID immunizations
Has anyone seen any data looking at patients living with HIV and CD4 count after COVID immunization?
I have a patient who is undetectable, has been for a long time. Had a significant drop in his CD4 after the 2nd dose of COVID immunizaiton.
