Low IgM levels can affect your immune response to certain vaccines, particularly those that rely on IgM for initial immune defense. However, since your IgG and IgA levels are normal, your body may still mount a sufficient response to most vaccines. Your maintenance treatment with Revlimid (lenalidomide) could also influence your immune system's function.

To address this, consult your doctor about strategies like timing vaccinations when your immune system is stronger or considering additional supportive treatments like IVIG. IVIG can help bolster your immune system by providing donor antibodies, which may help protect against infections. Always discuss any changes with your healthcare provider.
