Flu Shot, Methotrexate and Enbrel

 

Question  Can I get the flu shot while taking methotrexate and enbrel?
 
Answer  You can and should get the flu shot.  It is important to note however,  that you should only receive the injectable flu shot-- the nasal spray or flu mist contains a live virus and should not be given to people with any immune disorders or those taking medications that alter the immune system.
