Less chance of any concerns
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
Welcome to Ask A Doctor service
I have gone through your query and understand your concern
Currently available COVID vaccines are mRNA based(The Moderna and Pfizer vaccines). Unlike traditional vaccines, these are safe and effective for people on immuno-modulator drugs like Humira(Adalimumab).
But, to be sure, I would like know few more details:
1. The disease for which you are taking HUMIRA, and its present level of control
2. The vaccine you are scheduled to take(Moderna or Pfizer)
3. Your age and any other medical issues
Kindly get back with details, so that I can guide you better
