    Is there any danger? No.
    Is there the possibility that taking the flu shot and the avonex shot close in time will make me feel terrible? Yes.

    I took mine 3 days after. The flu shot made me feel crap for a day or two.

    There is another interesting question: Should I take my shot when I'm sick? I'm not sure. So far, I've taken it when I was a little sick and it's no problem.

      Flu shot and avonex

      My experience with the flu shot was not good. I was on Avonex injections and got the flu shot last year for the first time in many years. The next day, my legs were so weak I could not walk. I was in a wheel chair for two days. I stayed off the Avonex for 2 weeks and tried it again. The same thing happened. I had to suspend my Avonex injections for a year until the flu shot was out of my system. I just restarted my Avonex without any problems.

      This was my experience. Others may not have any issues. I will take my chances with the flu!
