Interesting as my rheumatologist seems to think I can take covid & flu vaccines at the same time. I just need to pause my methotrexate for a week.
I just don’t know what to think.

You must learn to do your own research and make the right decision for you. There simply is no single right answer. Remember it was a vaccination that was my PMR triggering event. Thus I will forever be cautious about getting another vaccination.

When Covid vaccine became available I pushed to learn what ingredients were in the Shringrix vaccine that were also in the Covid vaccine. After my allergist did the research the answer was "water". My decision to get the Covid vaccination boiled down to my desire to live through an episode of Covid if I were to get sick. Same choice with the tetanus vaccination I got earlier this year.
