Isolation when starting new DMT?

Hello all, After far too long, starting back on DMT (kesimpta!) and I'm wondering how much people isolated (or not) on b-cell depletion meds? We're going into the holiday season and there's a lot of potential for socialising, but part of the delay in getting back on DMT is that my lymphocytes took a long time to recover from the tecfidera. They are still low, so that in conjunction with the kesimpta may mean another low key holiday season? Wondering what others have done/not done...

Hey @emosh Not really sure (clearly need to read more about b-cell depletion & isolation) but my neuro said to get a pneumococcal vaccine ahead of changing dmt (Kesimpta/ocrevus or ponvory) Is that something you could look into as it may help? Sorry if this is useless!! Xx

I'm getting twice a year ocrevus and don't go in isolation. I'm just carefull if anyone has flu symptoms. I miss the 1,5 meter distance, the "covid" distance.....
