It is highly recommended that you get a flu shot. Patients with WG have lowered immune systems because of the disease and treatments. Thus, they are more susceptible to infections and viruses. Vaccines such as flu shots will be helpful in preventing the flu. In addition, WG patients should receive other vaccines such as tetanus and pneumovax as per approved recommendations.
