I have not heard back from my doctor. Do you know if I should skip my Enbrel shot today since I had my H1N1 shot on Wednesday? (two days ago)

I don't really have an answer for you. I can tell you when I came down with H1N1 I was told to stop my mtx immediately til I was over the flu.

last conversation on this was to have H1N1 vaccine mid cycle of your enbrel (or any TNF) so maybe wait till tomorrow as enbrel every week is like 3 and half day to mid cycle....... it takes 2 weeks for vaccine to reach full effect anyway I would not wait that long tho. you call rhemy? or a regular doctor? call both.......

My doctor said it didn't matter. But waiting a day shouldn't matter if you are worried.

I don't know the answer but I didn't stop my enbrel or even wait and I was fine. I would think because it is not the live virus it shouldn't matter. But I'm not sure.
