A member asked:

I'm 66 and on flecainide for af due to pfo closure. also on warfarin for same reason. i'm afraid of the flue injection - any advice?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Flu injection: The flu is a significant risk and the shot is usually a lower risk than the risk of hematoma from the shot in someone on warfarin. You should discuss this with your Dr. who is familiar with your anticoagulation state and your history of problems with it.
