I had Hep B vaccine (in Germany) as well- that would have been ca. 2002/03, first alleged MS episode was 2008, but possibly started 2007 or earlier.

Now that you mention it- I was also wondering whether any treatments aimed at boosting immune function may have anything to do with this?  About 12 years ago I had 10 acupuncture sessions to rev up my immune system (back then I was sick about 1x/month summer and winter)- after the acupuncture treatment, I wasn't sick for at least 1,5 years in a row.

cheers, Rike

This has been studied extensively after concerns in France that there appeared to be an increaqse in MS in adolescence who had received the Hep B vaccine.  Initial studies  in many countries to verify this appeared to disprove it.  However, within the last year, a study was published showing that there was an slight association - in Europe only - between one brand of the vaccine, Energix, and the increase in MS in adolescents in France.

Incidentally, Energix is the most common vaccine used in the US, but the association was not found here, leading to a supposition that it has to do with the vaccine that was produced outside the US.

I received the Hep B vaccine multiple times in the 80's and early 90's.  My onset of symptoms was 1999.

So, if there is a connection here, it is weak.

That is what I know about it.

my reason for this question is i have read online there could be a connection with ms and the hep b vaccination..
