Hi everyone,

do you know if it is safe to get a tetanus vaccine when having APS?

Will it effect my INR?

I am on both warfarin and Clopidogrel.

Thanks and have a wonderful summer 😊

I have APS and I have just had a tetanus injection. I'm not on any meds as of yet for APS.

I had one last year and it did not affect any of my meds (warfarin, prednisone, plaquinal) and I didn't flare or have any aches or pains. That was my experience. Everyone is different. Good Luck!

I have APS and just had my tetanus shot, plus one 10 years ago. No unintended effects.
