Topics:new RA vaccine

I am a 58 year old female, 10 year breast cancer survivor with excellent prognosis.

Dx with RA June /2008  following a sudden onset of Raynaud's phenonmenum.   Inital RF was 105 but all other workup negative (extensive).  Started Plaquenil 400 mg daily and feeling somewhat better but still occassional hand & wrist pain.

 

Want to be agressive - what if any chances of receiving this vaccine are there.  How long until available to the rest of us sufferers?   Hoping to enjoy these final years with some degree of comfort.
