I've got the flu shot for my whole life, every year and had no flu in my 56 years. So yes , get the shot. It never bothered my MS

I have had a flu shot for years. I've never experienced any issues that were problematic. My neuro and gp both stated I should get it.

I don't like that I'm told that. However, if I didn't get the flu shot and catch the flu, no good. It turns to pneumonia and that is where things get hazardous.

The flu jab gives you much needed protection against risk. It does not have protection against Covid, but if you could imagine having flu, and picking up the Co-bug at the same time, survival is a word that could easily leave your dictionary.

Always ask your doctor. Mine supports getting one and I had one last month. Have been getting them for years with no effects.
