I have never gotten the shot before and I don't THINK I ever got the flu either, my neuro said it is OK to get the shot with Tysabri but she didn't say YES get one for sure........I am getting really fed up a bit with this neuro, why wouldn't they commit and tell me YES for SURE GET one........they are leaving it up to me..........

Gazelle you make me think I have never had one before I am not going to get one now, but I really don't know.........

Thanks everyone for all the reply's I still MAY get one but it is going to take some thought........

It's personal preference. Some people (as you can see) say yes, get one and others say nope, don't. I prefer not to given my past experience with how excellently it worked to give me exactly what it was supposed to prevent.
