hi ageddancer, your GP or your haematology nurse specialist will be able to advise you on whether or not you should stop your Methotrexate before/after your flu jab. Best wishes, Maz

Thank you...I used my own common sense and did stop for one week before and one after the Covid one. I dont get answers from rheumatology. Common sense again would say I should do the same for the flu one. Happy spaniel days!!🐶
