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........

Here's my two cents on why your neuro hasn't given you an answer..

There haven't been any conclusive studies done on "Tysabri and flu shots". The decision is left up to the patient.

I asked and that's the answer I got.
