A member asked:
I have an ankylosing spondylitis, could i inject meningitis vaccination when i inject tnf- inhabitors ? does it has some risk
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes you can: The meningitis vaccine is a killed vaccine - no live organisms so it does not pose a threat. Anyone on biologic medication, like the tnf drugs cannot use live vaccines - like live flu vaccine while on the tnf drug.
