my neurologist just texted me and told me,the ideal time to get the covid vaccine is 4 months after treatment,but you may take it 2 to4 weeks after treatment since there is limited supplys.take it as soon as you have access to it and if you are going to get it before treatment,perferably 2 to 4 weeks before,

Listened to webinar MSNews and Views w. Dr Thrower last night. He said vaccine 2 was before or within 2 weeks after. My Neuro said 3 months after to 2 weeks before. I am confused...🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

I just asked mine this question in our 4 month follow up. He told me three months after infusion. My next infusion isn’t till March.

Wow! This doesn’t surprise me a bit. My neurologist told me 3 months. So we’ve been told anywhere between 2 weeks and 4 months. Well I’m super excited about getting this vaccine! Does anybody have THE one correct answer

I didn’t mean to end...I got happy fingers! I know there’s no “right answer. I guess I’m just wishing there were. I’m venting. This covid mess is getting on my last nerve...probably tomorrow. 😎🤪

just got contacted by my neuro after some blood test. my next Ocrevus should be scheduled for first half of March and he'd like for me to get the vaccine ASAP, if I can get it. He said this would be perfect timing because your immune system has bounced back but not your CD19 cells yet.
