Can One Take A Flu Shot While Treating Alopecia Areata And Asthma?
Is it safe to get a flu shot if I have an autoimmune disorder? I have alopecia areata and I just got into my college s nursing program and I will be required to be vaccinated against the flu to attend clinicals. I also have asthma if this is of any relevance. I started having hair loss about 2 years ago and I am now 24 years old. Your advice would be much appreciated. Thanks for your time!
