Are specific vaccinations safe with MG?

We have a new granddaughter and my son has expressed an interest that I get the new fall Covid vaccine and flu shot ? I have received the rsv and whooping cough a year ago without incidence. Any recommendations on taking these with MG?

  1. My doctor advises me to do both covid and flu vaccinations, but to space them a few weeks apart to reduce stress on my immune system. I have done that for several years without any problem. Avoid the flu nasal spray. It is a live vaccine and not for MG patients.

  2. Just took flu and Covid vac. No bad reactions yet. Did samething last year no reactions that I know of.

  3. I’m very concerned about mRNA vaccines and the immune system. Personally, I don’t want the increase in “bad IgG” when my immune system is compromised.

  4. Good point. I need the flu vaccine because I've had asthma all my life. I hope it won't affect the MG too much.
