The Expert Series S8E5: Lupus and Recommended Immunizations

In this episode of the Lupus Foundation of America's The Expert Series podcast, Dr. Amit Saxena dives into why vaccines are such a powerful tool for people living with lupus. Since lupus and some of its treatments can weaken the immune system, getting the right vaccines can make a big difference in staying healthy and preventing serious infections. Dr. Saxena also breaks down which vaccines are most important and how lupus medications can impact their effectiveness.

Episode Takeaways:

  • Vaccines help protect people with lupus from serious infections, which can be harder for them to fight off.
  • Getting the flu, COVID-19, and shingles vaccines is especially important.
  • Some lupus medications might need to be paused before getting certain vaccines, so make sure to talk to your doctor first.
  • While side effects can sometimes feel stronger, vaccines are generally safe and effective for people with lupus.
  • Adults with lupus may also need booster shots or updated versions of vaccines they received as kids.
