@padres44 Hello padres44, thank you for starting this discussion. This is a great question, let me tag some members who may be able to provide some insight on this.
Hello everyone, I hope you don't mind that I've tagged you! Do you know anything about this? Are vaccines safe for people with MS?

Hey!
I actually do receive the flu vaccine every year. I know each one of us is different but if I have a active infection inside my body, I lose my vision until the infection in gone. Sooo .... yeah

Ad long as the vaccine is not a live vaccine we can take it. I do get my flu vaccine each year.

I did not get a flu vaccine last year because I was pretty ill and my doctor advised against it. But previously yes along with pneumonia vaccine.

Hello, I do not take the flu vaccine because it has eggs in it. I am allergic to eggs. I had MS for close to 19 years.

My neurologist instructs me to get flu vaccine yearly. We haven't discussed covid-19 vaccine yet.

I always get a flu vaccine shot every year. I have had MS since 1999. Now taking a okrevus infusion 2x annually and love it. No shots!

Hello I started taking Ocrevus last year and I love what has been doing for me so far. I know every medication treats everybody’s body differently. Please talk to your neurologist to find out if this medication would work for you.

Hey, I've had MS for many years now (sometimes I almost lose count!) and I feel like I remember at the beginning the neurologist told me that I couldn't be vaccinated anymore. No flu shots, no shots for foreign travel, etc. Does anyone know anything about this? Has this changed in recent years? At a time where we may eventually have a vaccine for COVID-19, I've been wondering about it.
If I remember right I think the neurologist said that my immune system was attacking itself so it wouldn't be wise to introduce a virus to it, even if it's for inoculation purposes.
What do you all think? Thanks.
