Not all immunosuppressants are equal, is the thing. The one I take (Enbrel) did NOT suppress COVID vaccine immune response - not one bit.
Some months after my first 2 Moderna doses I was having some blood work done, so we added a COVID antibody test to the list. I've never had COVID. (knock wood).
1.0 units per milliliter (U/mL) or higher indicates the presence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. Anything less means no antibodies detected.
Mine was 212.
When I pressed my rheumatologist later to get a dose of EvuSheld for safety . .. they explained that since my immune system is responding to the vaccine doses and building antibodies - despite me taking immunosuppressants weekly - I don't need EvuSheld as much as people who are NOT responding to vaccines.
So yeah. Your immunosuppressant mileage may vary.
