Flu vaccine

So it's that time of year again. Winter's coming and the flu vaccine is available. I've recently been diagnosed with RRMS (January) and have never had, or thought about having, the flu vaccine? Any opinions? Is it worth getting?
@Bernadette

Personally I say yes, getting the flu on top of RRMS is not something you want, you are within the group of people for whom it is advised (and free if you are in UK) It is not always 100% effective but even if you develop flu it will be much less severe if you have had the vaccine. Earlier in life I had the flu twice, I have never forgotten it ! if you're unsure however check with your MS nurse and team.

I recommend asking your neuro because they’re all different and it depends on if you’re starting treatment and which one. Best of luck!
