When you have MS always err on the side of caution and get a flu shot! If you get the flu all your MS symptoms will be intensified and you will be unnecessarily miserable. Get the shot.

My doctor doesn’t want me to take the shingles shot as he feels it could give me the shingles,, I do take the flu shot!,😋

I get one every year. Remember, you’re not immune. Because our immune system is lacking, it’ll hit you much harder and take much longer to recover. Weigh the options. I, myself, avoid any discomfort.

My Neurologist left it up to me stating some of his patients get it, some don't. He responded the same about the shingles vaccine. I made the decision to get no more vaccines unless absolutely necessary.
