I haven’t had any COVID vaccines and no flu vaccines for the last 5 years. A month ago I got a pneumonia vaccine since I was hospitalized with pneumonia in January. It was recommended by my PCP and was advised by the pharmacist that it would be safe for someone with MG. The day after I got the shot my MG symptoms went from ocular to eyelid drooping and extreme fatigue and muscle weakness. I will be getting no more vaccines.

Yes, I get the flu vaccine every year. I have had all the Covid vaccines and the booster shot for it. No reactions except sore arm for a day. I do what my Dr. recommends. That is why I go to him.
