Vaccines before infusion
Hello! I am due for my next ocrevus infusion in October. My neurologist recommended I get yearly Covid and flu vaccines. Do you recommend this? I did it last year but I just hate the thought of getting vaccines all the time..
I just received my annual flu vaccine 2 weeks before I start kesimpta. currently on vumerity, I've noticed no issues. I have not and will not receive the Covid vaccine.
I get them every year. Our immune systems don't work properly as it is...then the DMTs we take usually weaken the immune system at least a little so we tend to be a little more susceptible...and thinking about all those that don't wash their hands on a good day...I'm good with a yearly vaccine or 2. I just got my flu last week and COVID today. 😊
