Sumario:COVID-19 vaccines are safe for people living with MS on or off disease-modifying therapies and are important for the prevention of COVID-19. Antibody responses for individuals on certain DMTs may be diminished, however, T-cell responses may be preserved in those individuals. Data are lacking regarding optimal timing of vaccinations, and delaying disease-modifying therapies may increase the risk of disease activity and progression. In this perspective podcast, the authors recommend COVID-19 vaccination as soon as possible, regardless of timing considerations, in most cases.
