I Am Afraid That Taking The Prednisone During That Time Will Prevent My Vaccine From Working Properly

Question: I had the first dose of the Moderna Covid vaccine on XXXXXXX 8th. I had the second dose exactly 4 weeks later on Feb. 5th. Eight days after the second dose on Feb. 13th I started taking 40 mg of prednisone per day for 3 days and I took 20mg for one day (Feb.13 -16). I didn’t take any more after that. I am a very anxious type person and now I am afraid that taking the prednisone during that time will prevent my vaccine from working properly. My family doctor who I trust told me not to worry, that taking that amount for such a short time would not prevent the vaccine from working, but I wanted a second a opinion because of my anxiety.
