Annual flu vaccinations are generally recommended and considered safe for people with MG who are immunocompromised. However, the timing of your vaccination in relation to your Vyvgart infusions is important to discuss with your doctor.

Here are key points to consider:
• The flu shot is an important preventive measure for people with MG
• Your doctor needs to evaluate your individual health factors
• The timing of the vaccination may need to be coordinated with your infusion schedule Research shows that most vaccination side effects are mild and temporary, like pain at the injection site, headache, or chills, typically resolving within a couple of days.
