Flu jab 2019

Hi all 👋🏻 having my first flu jab this morning. It’s also the first vaccine I’ll have since my diagnosis which begs the question: How might this jab affect me in terms of MS? Am I likely to experience a little bout of symptoms? It would be useful to know and save me panicking 😂

I've never quite got my head around this (but I'm not a Doctor!!). My wife has had the jab for years and feels grotty for around 24 hours, usually kicking in after a day. Essentially, the same as everyone else!

Hi @keepsmylin99, Don’t worry to much about it - I have had Ms for 22 years and only started getting the flu vaccine (previously avoiding it through being blasé about the flu vaccine) about 4 years ago, I’ve not had any side effects nor symptoms of mild flu after it and I believe it’s a good idea to get it. Best of luck Loo⭐️
