patients with MS are still often discouraged to get vaccinations.
Two main concerns regarding immunizations are whether they may trigger relapse activity or whether the patient is able to mount a sufficient immune response to the vaccine. Use of the hepatitis B vaccine in France had raised concern of increased risk of MS relapse after this vaccination. The Vaccines in MS Study (VACCIMUS) conducted by Confavareux et al. utilizing the European Database for MS for vaccination history studied tetanus, influenza, and hepatitis B and concluded that vaccinations did not increase the short-term risk of relapse in MS. 18 Mailand and Fredericksen in 2016 conducted a PubMed literature review analyzing the risk of developing MS following vaccinations. The study did not find any change in the development of MS with vaccination against hepatitis B, human papillomavirus (HPV), seasonal influenza, variola, tetanus, measles mumps rubella, polio, diphtheria, or Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG).19 A case control study conducted by DeStefano et al examining cases of MS or optic neuritis among adults aged 18 to 49 years did not reveal any increased risk of MS exacerbation or optic neuritis following vaccination against hepatitis B, influenza, tetanus, measles, or rubella.

Live Attenuated Vaccines
Live attenuated vaccines are obtained from the virus or bacteria and are weakened in the laboratory. A small dose of the pathogen grows in the immunized host, and antibodies are developed. These are generally not recommended.in MS because the vaccine’s ability to cause disease has been decreased but the vaccine is not entirely inactivated.
21
Exposure to a family member or child who has had live virus injection and subsequent risk is not certain. The following are examples of live attenuated vaccines.
Measles Mumps Rubella
Adult patients may need to have antibody titers checked. If the titer is low, a booster dose should be given. This vaccine is
https://t.me/medicina_free
generally safe when given to patients taking interferon therapies and glatiramer acetate. However, because measles mumps rubella is a live attenuated virus, it is not recommended to be used during treatment with cell-depleting therapies alemtuzumab, ocrelizumab, rituximab, and also fingolimod, dimethyl fumarate, cladribine, and terifluonimide.
Varicella Vaccine
Varicella immunization appears to be safe for patients with MS. Before treatment with fingolimod, if there is no evidence of varicella antibodies, patients are required to have the vaccine, wait 4 weeks, and then start taking fingolimod. All nonimmune adults are recommended to have two doses of the vaccine 4 to 8 weeks apart. Varicella vaccine in general is recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to be given to people of any age who are seronegative for varicella. If patients have untreated or active TB, they cannot get the vaccine but need to wait until the TB is treated. It is also recommended before alemtuzumab use if patient is IgG antibody negative. Live attenuated vaccine should be given at least 4 weeks before ocrelizumab infusion.
Yellow Fever
Encephalitis and meningitis may occur following the vaccine. Studies have shown an increased risk of relapses following the yellow fever vaccine. Individuals taking immunosuppressant medications should generally not use this vaccine.19 However, this risk of increased relapses does need to be weighed against the risk of contracting yellow fever, which is potentially fatal.
Generally, it is best to avoid this vaccine unless risk when traveling to an endemic country (South America, Africa) is great.
Bacillus Calmette–Guérin
One small pilot trial had suggested that the BCG vaccine could reduce exacerbation in MS. However, in the United States, the
https://t.me/medicina_free
CDC, because of the low risk of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, does not generally recommend this.
Smallpox Vaccine
This is a live vaccine and is generally not recommended for anyone with MS; however, if there is exposure, then the risk of developing smallpox outweighs the risk of its use.
Other Live Attenuated Vaccines
Oral polio Intranasal influenza Oral typhoid-directed against bacteria
Inactivated Vaccines (Killed Microbes)
Inactivated vaccines, or “killed microbes,” in general are safer to use than live attenuated vaccines, regardless of what DMT the patient is taking.21 Oftentimes, repeated doses are given because the immune response generated is weaker. Generally, inactivated vaccines are considered safe to use in patients taking interferon therapies, Aubagio, Copaxone, mitoxantrone, Gilenya, Lemtrada, Tysabri, Tecfidera, Ocrevus, and Rituxan.
The following vaccines are inactivated whole virus vaccines that are accepted for use in patients with MS:
Polio (injection)
Rabies
Hepatitis A
Varicella
Subunit and Conjugate Vaccines
Subunit vaccines involve microbial antigens that stimulate the immune system. Conjugate vaccines are polysaccharides attached to an antigen to boost efficacy and include conjugate
https://t.me/medicina_free
polysaccharide vaccines (Haemophilus influenza type B, pneumococcal, meningococcal) and meningococcal quadrivalent conjugate and meningococcal polysaccharide vaccines.
Influenza Vaccination (Seasonal Flu)
Two types of influenza vaccines are commonly used. The first is the inactivated vaccine, which is typically used by most facilities. The second is the live attenuated vaccine (nasal spray). This should be avoided. The National MS Society has stated in its guidelines that the seasonal flu vaccine is considered safe and generally recommended in all patients with MS, regardless of the DMT they are taking. Not only can influenza infection worsen MS disease symptoms but also it is associated with significant morbidity on its own.
22
The influenza vaccine is particularly recommended for patients with MS who are nonambulatory, wheelchair or bed­bound, use motorized scooters, and have impaired respiratory function23 and is given on an annual basis. For patients who are taking the cell-depleting therapies Lemtrada and rituximab, the influenza vaccine should be given 6 weeks before the infusion cycle. For Ocrevus, it should be administered at least 2 weeks before infusion. Note that it is only the inactivated flu vaccine (standard dose) that is recommended. More data are needed to make recommendations regarding the high-dose inactivated flu vaccine (Fluzone High-Dose).
The immune response in patients receiving interferon beta­1b/1a and glatiramer acetate was shown to be similar to that of controls in the study done by Olberg.24 Regarding influenza efficacy with natalizumab use, there have been conflicting studies. One study done by Vagberg et al showed that a humoral immune response to the influenza vaccination was maintained in natalizumab-treated patients, and the study done by Kaufman et al25 also showed no decrease in immune response in relapsing patients treated with natalizumab. However, a Norwegian study done by Olberg et al evaluated 90 patients who received fingolimod, glatiramer acetate, interferon beta-1a/1b, natalizumab, or no therapy and
https://t.me/medicina_free
compared them with 62 healthy controls. Serum samples were collected before vaccination and 3, 6, and 12 months after vaccination. The results showed reduced protection rates with patients treated with natalizumab or fingolimod but not interferon beta-1a/1b or glatiramer, suggesting that patients receiving fingolimod or natalizumab should be considered for
a second dose of the flu vaccine.26 A vaccine study (study to investigate the immune response to influenza vaccine in
patients with multiple sclerosis on teriflunomide) analyzing humoral response rates following teriflunomide use showed effective response, although it slightly decreased with the 14­mg dose. Immune response was also maintained in patients taking Tecfidera. The influenza vaccine is contraindicated in patients who are allergic to eggs. Patients who have an acute febrile illness or active infection should wait until they are infection free before getting the vaccine. If a patient does contract the flu, use of Tamiflu or antivirals such as amantadine may be helpful in decreasing symptoms.
Hepatitis B Vaccine
For the hepatitis B vaccine, there are two to three vaccinations recommended. This is considered safe in MS. The VACCIMUS study group did not find any association between hepatitis B vaccination and increased risk of relapse. The Institute of Medicine study also found no association with the onset of MS disease activity. According to the CDC guidelines, the hepatitis B vaccine is recommended for all children, teenagers, and adults who are at risk of contracting this disease, that is:
Anyone working in a job that involves contact with human blood
Anyone with diabetes and under age 60 years Anyone living in a house or having sex with someone
who has hepatitis B infection Anyone having sex with more than one partner
https://t.me/medicina_free
People who live or travel outside the United States for more than 6 months out of the year
A 2002 report by the Institute of Medicine did not find any causal relationship between the hepatitis B vaccine and development of MS
Human Papillomavirus Vaccine (Gardasil) Inactivated
This is recommended for males and females for the prevention of genital warts and anal and cervical cancer. There is a three­dose series to the vaccine, the second and third doses given 2 and 6 months from the first dose. In a cohort study utilizing nationwide registries in two Scandinavian countries conducted by Scheller et al,27 HPV vaccinations were not associated with the development of MS or other demyelinating illness. This study included 3,983,824 females, aged 10 to 44 years, during the years 2006 to 2013, among whom 789,082 received a total of 1,927,581 HPV vaccine doses. This study added to the body of data supporting a favorable overall safety profile of the HPV vaccine. There was one case report,28 however, of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis following the second immunization with Gardasil. A recent large-scale study utilizing patient registries in Denmark and Sweden among nearly 800,000 patients who received the vaccine found no increased risk of developing MS.
Zoster (Shingrix) Recombinant Vaccine Subunit
The CDC recommendation for zoster vaccination is administration of two doses of recombinant zoster vaccine (RZV-Shingrix) 2 to 6 months apart to adults 50 years or older regardless of prior history of herpes zoster or having received the live zoster vaccine (Zostavax, ZVL). Recombinant Shingrix vaccine is preferred in MS because of both its increased safety and efficacy. The efficacy of Shingrix in preventing zoster is 97.2% compared with Zostavax, a 51%
https://t.me/medicina_free
decrease in preventing zoster. No studies have been done of Shingrix in MS; however, no increase in autoimmune disease was noted in two clinical studies with Shingrix.
The Zostavax vaccine is not recommended if a patient is taking Aubagio. Zostavax in general is not recommended because Shingrix has become available owing to improved efficacy and decreased risk. Also, for Lemtrada use, the patient would need to wait 6 weeks after receiving the vaccine before getting Lemtrada.
Pneumococcal (Conjugate Polysaccharide Vaccine)
Pneumovax 23 and Prevnar 13 are inactivated and considered safe.
Generally, CDC guidelines for the general population are also recommended for patients with MS, particularly for patients who are wheelchair dependent who have impaired pulmonary function. The humoral response after Lemtrada use was similar to that of controls.
Other Subunit/Conjugated Vaccines
Typhoid Tick-borne encephalitis
Toxoid Vaccine
Toxoid vaccines are derived from a toxin treated to destroy its toxic properties but that can elicit an immune response to the original toxin. Toxoid vaccines are present for diphtheria, tetanus, and botulism.
Diphtheria, Tetanus Toxoids, and Pertussis
The CDC recommends that all adults be vaccinated for diphtheria/tetanus. Tetanus vaccination appears to be safe for
https://t.me/medicina_free
patients with MS. Tetanus booster should be given every 10 years (Table 6.2).

During Relapses
According to the Immunization Panel of the MS Council for Clinical Practice Guidelines:
During relapses vaccination should be delayed until patients have stabilized or have shown signs of improvement, usually 4 to 6 weeks after the start of the relapse. The exception being if a patient required immediate tetanus vaccination.
Corticosteroid Use and Vaccinations
https://t.me/medicina_free
Corticosteroid use could decrease the efficacy of a vaccination, so it is advisable to wait usually 4 to 6 weeks before administering the vaccine.27 This is because corticosteroids are usually administered during the time of relapse. Short-term use of glucocorticoids is usually not a contraindication to receiving the vaccine or if doses <40 mg are used.
23
Lemtrada (Alemtuzumab)
The recommendation is to vaccinate before treatment, 6 weeks before infusion. The live virus vaccine should not be administered following a course of Lemtrada. There is no specific recommendation regarding the administration of inactivated vaccines following infusion.
A study showed that adequate antibody levels were produced to seasonal flu vaccine and pneumococcal and meningococcal
vaccines.
Ocrevus
The Veloce study was done in the United States and Canada evaluating the humoral response of Ocrevus to selected vaccines. Vaccines studied were tetanus toxoid, pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine, seasonal influenza, 20-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, and keyhole limpet hemocyanin. Ocrelizumab does deplete CD20+ B cells but preserves the ability for B cells to reconstitute and preserves preexisting humoral immunity. Humoral responses were decreased at all time points in patients following ocrelizumab use because of B cell depletion compared with controls. Patients were, however, able to mount humoral responses to the vaccines and neoantigen studied. Cellular immune responses were not studied.
Live attenuated vaccines or live vaccines are not recommended to be taken during treatment but can be given up to 4 weeks before infusion. Findings from the Veloce study confirm that all inactivated vaccines should be given at least
https://t.me/medicina_free
2 weeks before the infusion. Flu vaccine is recommended because a potentially protective humoral response is generated, even if attenuated.29 No live attenuated or live virus should be given during treatment or following treatment until B cells have returned to normal levels.
Tecfidera
Live vaccines are not recommended. Immune response to vaccines is maintained after Tecfidera exposure.60 Three vaccine types were evaluated: tetanus/diphtheria toxoid to test T cell–dependent recall response, pneumococcal vaccine polyvalent to test T cell–independent humoral response, and meningococcal oligosaccharide conjugate to test T cell– dependent neoantigen response.
Gilenya (Fingolimod)
Humoral responses are decreased to influenza, pneumococcal vaccine, and tetanus toxoid. That being said, administration of flu vaccine is still recommended for patients. Avoid live vaccines during treatment and for 2 months after treatment discontinuation.
Tysabri (Natalizumab)
In the Natalizumab Safety and Efficacy in Relapsing Remitting MS phase 3 clinical trial of Tysabri monotherapy in relapsing MS, Tysabri 300 mg was administered versus placebo and administered every 28 days for up to 116 weeks. During this trial, 20% of patients received vaccinations. These vaccinations included influenza, either polyvalent or monovalent; hepatitis A; hepatitis B; typhoid; inactivated polio; pneumococcal; tick-borne encephalitis; yellow fever; diphtheria (Tysabri group only); diphtheria and tetanus; tetanus antitoxin; tetanus toxoid; diphtheria, tetanus toxoids, and pertussis (DTP); measles, mumps, rubella (Tysabri group only); and live rubella vaccines (placebo group only). No vaccine-related adverse events were reported in this trial other
