It may be that you should not take any vaccines while the disease is really active. Interestingly, my wegs doc at Cleveland Clinic gave me a flu shot last fall when I was having a minor flarre (no obvious symptoms). I got past the flare ok with two doses of rituxin and had no other issues during the succeeding months.
