Episode 180: Dr. Jaime Imitola Explains Timing Your MS Medications with the COVID-19 mRNA Vaccines

The National MS Society has updated their COVID-19 vaccine guidance for people living with MS, providing detailed recommendations for timing your disease-modifying therapy with the two COVID-19 vaccines that are approved in the U.S. If you're on a disease-modifying therapy and you've been wondering about your DMT and the COVID-19 vaccines, this episode is for you. My guest this week is Dr. Jaime Imitola, the Director of the Division of Multiple Sclerosis and Translational Neuroimmunology at UConn Health, a noted expert in his field, and a member of the task force that the MS Society convened to create the COVID-19 vaccine guidance. We're talking about the new updates to the vaccine guidance, answering some of the questions that you've sent my way, and we'll get into how this task force went about creating this very important guidance for people living with MS. We're also talking about the FDA approval of intramuscular injections for Plegridy (and how that came about!) We'll tell you about BRAINTEASER, a European Union initiative that will leverage artificial intelligence in an effort to treat people living with ALS and MS by providing predictive care instead of reactive care. And we'll explain how the newly announced Gladstone-UCSF Center for Neurovascular Brain Immunology is opening a new front in the war on MS. We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
