She had 6 booster doses from Pfizer. She reported not having any problems and was doing well. She also reported that she had a flu shot type response with the Pfizer covid vaccines. Her neurologist advised against getting another covid vaccine and that was 2 years ago. She is ambulant, but did not want to activate her MS and was wanting advice on whether or not to get the new vaccine. She did not have anything other than a response like she would have with a flu shot from the Pfizer covid vaccines and she was good with that. She clarified that she had a sore arm and down with energy a little bit for a day or so after receiving the Pfizer Covid-19 Vaccines. It was not a big deal and she does not see it as a negative at all. She has never had Covid anyway. Weight: Said it was too much. She was completely mobile.
