Should I Continue Using Budesonide For Allergic Asthma After Receiving The Moderna Vaccine, Or Stop To Avoid Impacting My Antibody Response?

I suffer from moderate allergic asthma and I have received the moderna Covid vaccine yesterday. Due to my allergic asthma I have been taking inhalative corticosteroids (Budenosid) for approximately a month. As the inhaler is immunosuppressent I was wondering, if I should still take it (200 mikrogramm twice a day) or if I should stop taking it, as my asthma symptoms arent as severe, to ensure an antibody response to the vaccine. I have stopped taking it since yesterday and was also wondering, how long it takes for the immunosupressant effects to wear off.
