@nameless I had the vaccine last week 😊 I am a health and social care frontline worker so received it under that umbrella ☂

I have had both the Flu jab and COVID 19 and no problems so all’s well

I've been actively encouraged to continue as usual for ANY and ALL vaccines. I haven't had any adverse reactions. My pneumonia vaccination is due this year too.
Always best to play safe though and check with GP and MSNurse.

I’m not having the vaccine -
reasons. It’s under trial until 2023
three close friends with MS have been badly affected from varying from bedbound for a month to death within 3 weeks
I have had anaphylaxis more than once

Hello all, I've had MS for many many years now (sometimes I almost lose count!) and I believe I remember at the beginning the neurologist told me that I couldn't be vaccinated anymore. No flu jab, nothing if I were to travel somewhere where that's necessary, etc. Does anyone know anything about this? Has this changed in recent years? At a time where we may eventually have a vaccine for COVID-19, I've been wondering about it.
If I remember rightly I think the neurologist said that my immune system was attacking itself so it wouldn't be wise to introduce a virus to it, even if it's for inoculation purposes.
What do you all think? Thanks in advance!
