ABSTRACT
Patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) should be vaccinated against COVID-19. All COVID-19 vaccines are effective and do not appear to carry any additional risk for patients with MS. Patients with MS should get a COVID-19 vaccine as soon as it becomes available. The risks of COVID-19 disease outweigh any potential risks from the vaccine. Even if vaccinated, patients with MS should continue to practice standard and recommended precautions against COVID-19, such as wearing a face mask, social distancing and washing hands. There is no evidence that patients with MS are at higher risk of complications from the mRNA, non-replicating viral vector, inactivated virus or protein COVID-19 vaccines, compared to the general population. COVID-19 Vaccines are safe to use in patients with MS treated with disease-modifying therapies (DMTs). The effectiveness of vaccination may be affected by few of the DMTs but yet some protection is still provided. For certain DMTs we may consider coordinating the timing of the vaccine with the timing of the DMT dose to increase vaccine efficacy.
