But I did find this on the National MS Society Website--see the brief section called "COVID-19 Vaccine for People Living with MS":
Suspected Covid-19 & Multiple Sclerosis | National MS Society | National Multiple Sclerosis Society
It looks as if it will be important for us to have the vaccine but those who are on DMDs might need to be careful about the timing of the doses.
I hope there will be more information coming along soon, and I'll be on the lookout for it. |
Thank you agate! You're always at the front!
Yes first people getting the vaccine will be health staff and older>60, but then the next would be us...people with chronic diseases.
I will ask my neuro on my next appointment on 2-December to see what he says and if he has any idea on this topic.
