Hi TBW,

I am without a job and insurance right now but will be getting a flu shot at a local drug store. I am getting the shot October 1st. I get one every year and recommend it for all crohnies.

Don't forget your pneumonia shot also. I think you need to renew every 5 years?

Just checked with HR (new job) and we will be getting flu shots at work - she's working on it now.

I was just thinking about flu shots- can you get one if your are on Humira?

Luckily my Husband's company lets spouses come for their Flu clinic too. He signed me up today. Of course he won't get one, cause if I get one and both kids get one, he doesn't need one. Gotta love the logic.

Yes, you can get flu shot if you are on either Humira or Remicade. In fact most, but not all, GIs will recommend it for their patients with Crohns. Please everyone, ask your PCP or GI if you should get a flu shot.

pneumonia shot? wow...don't know if I have had one of those ever at all lately, much less the last 5 years...
