 |
Can I get the flu shot while taking methotrexate and enbrel? |
 |
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. |
