ALS can damage muscles involved with breathing, and catching the flu can be particularly hazardous. As a result, influenza vaccines are considered a vital part of medically managing the disorder. With this in mind, MDA includes flu inoculations among the many important services provided to those served by the Association.

For additional information regarding flu shots in your area, please contact your local MDA office or call (800) 572-1717.

For more information about the seasonal flu, we invite you to visit the MDA Flu Season Resource Center.
