Why the Flu Shot Is Strongly Recommended for People with Multiple Sclerosis
Final thoughts
While the flu can be uncomfortable, it is temporary. However, if you experience a relapse after getting the flu, see your doctor right away. Relapses may be temporary as well but they can cause nerve damage that could have long-lasting MS side effects. Since each individual’s MS case is different, it is always best to consult with your doctor for any health-related advice, including whether or not to get a flu shot.
