Abstract:
Immunization of the patients with autoimmune diseases is rising a lot of concerns. It was previously demonstrated that vaccination in MS patients was not associated with an increased risk of exacerbations. A personalized approach is needed to define the immunization schedule. A decision should be made based on the course of the disease and the treatment used. Multiple sclerosis is not an absolute contraindication to vaccination. Any authorized vaccine can be used in MS patients.
