Good day to you,
I'm advising you to discuss this very sensitive issue with your physician who knows very well your current condition.
Wishing you all the best!

Thanks for the question.
You should not use the Johnson and Johnson vaccine. Either of the mRNA vaccines would work, with the following caveats: Levels of immunity achieved with these, or other vaccines, are lower when your immunity is low, as it is with your illness; that said, Moderna levels are not as high as Pfizer, but last longer. This is in general, and may not apply to you specifically. I would recommend either mRNA vaccine.
