Much of the following is plain common sense, but if you feel that you wish additional guidance, please read on. Firstly, whether or not various vaccines are safe especially those required for some overseas travel, and secondly whether there are any particular vaccines that MG patients need to have.
Vaccination is a way of reducing the chance of contracting an infectious disease.
The aim of vaccination is to generate specific immunity against an organism responsible for a particular disease, the principle being that if the vaccinated person is then exposed to the actual infection they will be protected from developing the disease. Rabies Vaccine of type 2 and 3 can be given to all patients with MG, so it is only the live attenuated vaccines where care needs to be taken. Myasthenia gravis itself does not affect the ability of an individual to receive vaccines. Thus patients with MG who are not on any treatment can have all vaccines including those in group 1. Pyridostigmine also does not prevent patients having vaccines.
