Excellant question, even tho I am no longer able to work I received one at my job every year.Still no DX for me yet.Bless you for asking this smart question. Ellen

I usually get one every year, my husband has ra and they still give him his. Neither one of us has had a cold for 3 yrs. so I will say yes I'll get one again.

Yall, know I am new to the MS thing, being diagnosed just over a yr ago. Well, as always in my medical opinion I say yes. I always have gotten one even last year. It has never made me sick or feel bad. I rather get the shot, take the chance of feeling bad, cause having the flu is alot worse I am sure. I have never had the flu but have seen alot of people and treated them with it and theres no way in HELL I would want to feel that way. Just looking at someone with the flu is awful. It has saved me the last 18 yrs from getting the flu with all the people I have had to be around.

Christysms

They keep pushing them at me, but this year I have decided NO! I am too close to a flare to risk it.

every year I get the flu shot, I get the flu. every year I don't get the flu shot, i'm fine, lol, i have asthma, which I guess is bad if you get the flu. but considering a shot only protects against certain strains, may or may not be effective, and has weird side effects sometimes... i figure just skip the shot and let natural selection determine my fate each winter for me! =)

Many harmfull things included in flue shots.
Only had one in the last ten years, felt crappy for days.
My husband & never get the shots & have not for years. We never get the flue.

Eat healthy, stay away fron sick people.

I have never had a flu shot either. I have been thinking about getting one this year. My kids get the flu shot or either the flu mist. My daughter did better with the flu mist/spray.

I get a flu shot at the end of September or start of October every year for at least the past 10 years. I have never had any issues with the flu shot nor have I had the flu in all these past years since I started getting it.

Like what's the worst it could do to me, give me MS? LOL!

I've never been a fan of the flu shot but my Neuro is stressing that I get one but "nope" not going to do it.

I never get the flue shot. I feel like the body does need to build up some immunities.

Thanks everyone @ BobbyJ you had me laugh out loud at my desk with you last comment.

I get the flu shot.

Seems like the shot gives me the flu so I stay away from it, but I do make sure my son and wife get thiers.

I get a flu shot every year, never had flu since. Pneumonia shot every 5 years....or 3..can't remember....Imagine that?

This is a little dated but I found this on the National MS Society website. The opinions differ depending on the type of vaccination.

The 2010-2011 Injectable Seasonal Flu Vaccine (includes H1N1)
The 2010-2011 seasonal influenza (flu) immunization is a single preparation that provides immunity to three different flu virus strains. It contains an H3N2 virus, an influenza B virus, and this year's H1N1 virus, which means that onely one "shot" is needed.
The injectable flu vaccine, which is an inactivated vaccine, is recommended for everyone over 6 months of age. It has been studied extensively in people with MS and is considered quite safe. The injectable flu vaccine may be taken by people who are taking an interferon medication, glatiramer acetate, mitoxantrone, natalizumab, or fingolimod. However it is not yet known whether the vaccine is as effective for those talking natalizumab or fingolimod.
People who are experiencing a serious relapse that affects their ability to carry out activities of daily living should defer vaccination until 4-6 weeks after the onset of the relapse.
FluMist is a live-virus flu vaccine(sometimes called LAIV for "live attenuated influenza vaccine) that is delivered via a nasal spray. This live-virus vaccine is not recommended for people with MS. Live, attenuated vaccines are those whose biological activity has been reduced so that their ability to cause disease has been weakened but not totally inactivated.
A high-dose flu vaccine is available for people over age 65. This high-dose vaccine has not been studied in people with MS of any age. At present, the Centers for Disease Control is not recommending the high-dose vaccine over the seasonal flu vaccine for the general population.
