Hi, Bearygood,

I've been keeping an eye on the experts' recommendations about MS and the vaccine, and they're recommending that everyone with MS get the vaccine, regardless of the status of your MS or what drugs you're taking.

Those on certain types of MS drugs are advised to time the vaccine dosing so that the vaccine won't interact with that type of drug. That's the only precaution I've seen about the vaccine and MS.

The B-cell depleting drugs (like Ocrevus) are the ones where there needs to be special timing for the vaccine:
