Have you had an MG flare or crisis after a vaccination (not COVID)?

Have you had an MG flare or crisis after a vaccination (not COVID)? https://myasthenia-gravis.com/vaccines

If you are comfortable sharing, which vaccine was it?

Vaccines can be of concern for those with MG, especially with pandemics and vaccines required to enter some countries or re-enter.

Do you know if the vaccine that made you flare or go into crisis was live or non-live?
"Vaccines can be divided into two general categories: live or non-live. " https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/acip-recs/general-recs/timing.html.

  1. No. On the recommendation of my neuromuscular specialist, a couple of months ago, I got the Covid-19 booster and seasonal flu vaccinations at the same time, in the same arm, with no reaction except for a slightly sore arm for a couple of days. Two weeks later I got the RSV vaccination with no reaction again and almost no sore arm. (All non-live vaccines.)
