A member asked:

Is ok for someone with sarcoidosis to take a preserve free flu shot?

9 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Yes: The most important question is should a pt with sarcoidosis get the trivalent inactivated vaccine or the live vaccine and the answer is the trivalent inactivated( non-live) vaccine. Both of the vaccines have the option for preservative or no preservative. But a sarcoid pt should avoid the live vaccine.
