2022 Flu Vaccination
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Is there a greater risk of seizures after receiving the flu vaccine this year 2022 ?.
The last time I received the flu vaccine years ago I had a seizure the next day.

I am not a doctor, I'll start there.

I personally don't do flu shots as I try to build my immune system up naturally rather then knock it down with whatever chemicals they are injecting.

With that, I do know some who get flu shots with no side effects or seizures and some do, everybody is different. I'd listen to your gut, its typically correct.

No I get them yearly I don't think they would but they have gotten my seizures under control more than before recently but everyone is different so I hope I am giving you the correct answer cause that shot us supposed to be
Made to give anyone other than those who are allergic to the shot or have medical
Issues.
