Before I forget: yes, the Ocrevus interferes with other vaccines. What this means in practice is that if I ever have the sort of injury where they ask when you last had a tetanus vaccine, my answer will be "I'd better have one now."
Also, after talking to my neurologist this afternoon, I decided I do want the Evushield preventive monoclonal antibodies, so he has placed that order and the hospital will call me when I can come in. (That will be in the area the hospital calls the walk-in clinic, even though I need an appointment for this.) They're supposed to be good for six months. He thinks that whether a second dose will be approved depends on whether the FDA thinks this is a reasonable thing for the government to be spending money on, and that depends on vaccination rates and whether there's another variant like delta or omicron driving up case rates.
The Evushield is two intramuscular injections, one in each buttock; having been on Avonex for several years, my reaction was "that's easy" because I won't have to self-inject.
