how effective the flu shots are in the face of TNF inhibitors, MTX and

prednisone? This will be the first year that all of those agents are

being used on my Mom, and I am rather anxious as to her protection.

Hi: I have been on Enbrel and Methotrexate for almost

a year now together, and my doctor had no trouble with

giving me a flu shot this year - in fact, she

encourages her patient's to get the shot. I don't

know about adding Prednisone to the mix, but since

that is a steroid, you might want to get her doctor's

opinion on giving her the flu shot. I don't think it

would be a problem, but talk with the doctor just to

make sure, okay? best of luck - take care -

Hi! The way I understand it - the flu shot is NOT a live vaccine and

you cannot get the flu from it, no matter what you take or what's wrong

with you. I've had Psoraitic Art. and Fibromyalgia since 2000 and my

Dr. wants me and everyone in my home to get the shot. We (immune

supressed people) can get any vaccine as long as it's not a live

vaccine.

You are a great daughter!
