To Vaccinate or not to vaccinate, that is the question!
Hello everyone! I wonder whether I might ask if anyone with RA has had a flu vaccination and whether this is considered a safe thing to have considering how RA affects the immune system. I was diagnosed in 2014 and have been taking Methotrexate interjects 17.5mg weekly. Never had one before, but now

Influenza may facilitate the spread of SARS-CoV-2. A convincing argument to have the Flu vaccination.
WHO declared the COVID-19 outbreak, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), a pandemic on March 11, 2020. Initially, superspreading events, a cruise ship in Japan, mass gathering of a religious group in South Korea, skiing resorts in Italy and Austria, and a popular pilgrimage

Pneumonia vaccination
I am a 70 year old CLL patient in remission for 3 years after BR. I have just had a flu jab so that's good but I am still a bit confused about the pneumonia vaccination. I had pneumovax last year and I'm told that that's a one-off and I don't need any more. I have though read that what should happen

Flu jab post stent
Hi all. I have a flu jab every year due to my type 1 diabetes as I’m higher risk with flu. The first drive through flu clinic at my gp surgery is in a couple of weeks. how long after a stent is it safe to have the flu jab? Would it be detrimental to my seemingly slow recovery? I’m still bruised from

7k this morning but OH!! What a struggle!!
I was probably a bit silly as I had my flu jab yesterday morning and by 4pm I was yawning my head off.. didn’t feel poorly just really tired and so I managed to get to bed by 10, read for 10 mins and then put the light out. And was instantly wide awake again. I could hear neighbours tv, then people

Here we go again, Flu Shot Thoughts
Trying to figure out what could be best, before speaking with my MD. Been on initial treatment ibrutinib since May 2020. Labs are good, ANC 4.2, WBC 8, iGG 450, ALC 6.2. Thinking do I get regular dose flu shot, or regular dose flu shot repeated by another regular dose flu shot two weeks afterwards

Flu jab

My doctors has not contacted me about the flu shot this year or last year. Last year when I went to ask about

Flu vaccine
Hi, I experienced a PMR flare about a month after getting my flu vaccine in 2018. I mentioned it to my Rheumatologist and he did not think it was connected. I wonder if it was connected. Does anyone on this site feel that there is a connection?

Are flu vaccines different around the world?
Are flu vaccines different around the world? In sense - are they made to work against the same strain of viruses? Or, perhaps - each region (i.e. Europe, Asia) expects a different virus strain and someone vaccinated against flu in Asia will not have much protection from that vaccine after traveling to

Special flu vaccine for CLL?
I’ve been waiting for my flu vaccine - and waiting and waiting. My GP practice sent for over 65s first. So my fit and well husband, with no underlying health issues has had his. Now they’ve moved on to children. When I queried why on Earth they aren’t do the extremely vulnerable group, the nurse said

Shingrix (Shingles) Vaccine
Hello. My nephrologist is recommending I get the shingles vaccine (2 doses as prescribed). I'm wondering if any post-transplant patients have received it already and if they had any reactions. Thank you. Kathleen

Flu Jab
What does everyone think about having a flu jab. If I take any sort of medicine it causes me problems so I am worried about having this and what effect it might have.

Study provides insight on how to build a better flu vaccine.
Flu season comes around like clockwork every year, and sooner or later everyone gets infected. The annual flu shot is a key part of public health efforts to control the flu, but the vaccine’s effectiveness is notoriously poor, falling somewhere from 40% to 60% in a typical year. A growing body of evidence

Flu jab
Many thanks for all the helpful replies, I'm resolved to have the flu jab this year as I'll never know if the jab triggered PMR and anyway I'm more at risk now especially this winter.

Any studies on longterm effects of live shingles vaccine and PMR
I was wondering if anyone knows of any studies that have been done about those of us that contracted PMR after taking the live shingles vaccine. I wonder if PMR will last as long in our system as the shingles vaccine antibodies are active in our system? The pharmacist says the antibodies last 5+years

Should I have the flu jab
I'm 63 and new to this group. I contracted PMR 2 years ago, a few days after having the flu jab. My doctor agrees that the flu jab may have triggered PMR but there is little evidence to confirm this and his advice is to have the jab again this Autumn (I didn't have it last year) as my immune system is
