Hello all, I have CD for about 10 years, and currently on 6-MP.
I may have to get some vaccines soon (immunization requirements for immigration).
The vaccine list includes hepatitis-B.
I am worried about having to take these vaccines. What are the risks associated?
Someone I know took the vaccine for hepatitis-B, which resulted in "vaccine triggered Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome", a type of kidney disease.
While he does not have CD (he has a rare genetic mutation), this news made me think about the impact of vaccines in general, especially on those with CD.
