Hey, I'm 22 years old, and I've been diagnosed with MS. My doctors are urging me to get COVID and flu vaccines. I don't want the COVID one, but I'm hesitant about the flu one. What do you guys think about this? What are your experiences?

Hi thanks for reaching out. I am including articles from the National MS Society about the covid vaccine: https://www.nationalmssociety.org/managing-ms/living-with-ms/diet-exercise-and-healthy-behaviors/vaccination/covid and from MSAA: https://mymsaa.org/videos/covid-19-vaccines-and-ms-video-series. Here is an article about the flu vaccine: https://www.nationalmssociety.org/for-professionals/for-healthcare-professionals/managing-and-treating-ms/immunization. I hope these are helpful for you in making your decision. Jill (Team Member)
