This is a very sensitive subject. I know how I feel about the covid booster and what my mentor explained to me about the flu shots in general since I basically have a weak immune system. I have not received any vaccines in over 30years. But that's me. I know some of my friends/family who have had it with no side effects and then I have very close family members who has taken it and they have severe problems afterwards and even a few that were perfectly healthy that suddenly passed away. It's as if people are playing Russian roulette. If you feel you will benefit from the booster,I will support your decision. That's for you to decide.

My advise is check with your doctor. Maybe Evushield is a better option for you. I also take kesimpta and I'm getting the evushield monoclonal antibodies as soon as the doctor scheduled the appointment. It works while taking kesimpta

Thanks to BarbMusel for the info about EvuShield. I am definitely going to look into this for myself. I have had four Covid vaccines already, but I know that the vaccine is far less effective for people on a drug like Kesimpta. I still am living in somewhat of a bubble because of that.

My Neurologist told me Not to take Kesimpta cuz my last MRI showed no new lesions so I will be getting my 2nd booster. Sorry 😐 I know this doesn’t help you.
