Hi Everyone,
Well I just got my flu shot and also did the pneumonia shot. I got them
at the same time.
I think everyone using anti TNF blockers should get the flu shot.

Hi Yes Agree it is important I Won't miss my Flu Shot Now Every Year im Lined up as soon as I know they are out

the Pneumonia shot used to be once every 5 yrs. and as the 5yr mark came around from my first shot I asked about it but my GP says now they are only using it as a one off so get it once don't need another.

I am on Xeljanz and if I'm not mistaken, somewhere in the information they sent, there is something about not taking shots. Can't remember exactly what is said so I will need to pull it out and read it. I got the flu last year in December and it took me almost a month to get over it. Don't want to go through that again!
