Yes..she can take the vaccine. She may have little flare of joint pain or muscle pain n fever after vaccine but that should not be the reason to defer vaccine for her

She should definitely get her vaccine asap.
Being immunosuppressed means, she has a higher risk of getting infected, so just get vaccinated as soon as feasible.
