Is the covid vaccine safe for a patient with adem?

There is currently no data on the safety of the Covid Vaccine in a patient with ADEM. In general, patients with autoimmune disorders should take the vaccine only when not in a flareup period.

There should be no contraindication for COVID-19 vaccine once the disease is in remission, and it is unlikely that an exacerbation would occur.
