Should those with RA get a flu shot? Thx i was told to get one by my Rheum...also a pneumonia shot. But Me being stubborn as i am didn't get them. The clinig i go to for routine care didn't have the flu shot so i put it off...ooops. I think you should get one, but not sure if you really need it. hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Yes, we should get a flu shot, because our immune systems are compromised anyway, and we would probably have a bad case if we got the flu. Just make sure you get the shot and not that kind that is inhaled, because I believe it has the live virus.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 : I agree with Sue, flu and RA can be a very bad combination because of the medications we take which suppress our immune system. I get a flu shot every year, and luckily have not had the flu since starting the shots.
