Vaccines and Multiple Sclerosis.
by Udkas, Feb 25, 2009 03:49PM
Hi,
Seeing as I don't feel up to doing to much I thought I might as well sit quietly today and well I have a booster HEP A and B vaccines due, as I had to have this when I went overseas.
Should I have this? Could this cause or is this linked to new attacks?
My old neurologist wouldn't let me have a flu vaccine as he said something about it being a live vaccine and that it would be like suicide at the time? It was thought I had MS at that time.
So this brings me to the next question is there any current protocol for MS on what vaccines people should or shouldn't have.
Cheers,
Udkas.

I don't know the answer...but I'll bump because I noticed your question was about to go to the second page.
thanks for the bump, I think now they encourage Msers to have the flu shot but at the time my old neuro said I was in a very active flare, just come out of hospital after a week on IV steriods and he said the flu shot was a definate NO.
I thought somewhere I heard not to have the Hep shots either and seeing as they can associate some vaccines with TM I thought maybe I shouldn't have it. I will hold off and ask my neuro when I see him but that is a mth away.
Thanks,
Udkas.
