Covid vaccine for multiple sclerosis patients

Last edited July 20, 2023 Covid is no longer a hot topic, but the virus is still with us and will likely remain a persistent and evolving issue similar to the many other viruses that we deal with on a yearly basis. Covid vaccines will likely have regular updates as the virus evolves. The vaccine available starting September, 2022 covers two different strains of the virus, the original strain and the omicron variant that swept across the country in 2022. I recommend that all my patients get the current version of the vaccine. I suspect that we will end up doing this on a yearly basis, like flu shots.
