Coronavirus (COVID-19)

What we know about COVID-19 and multiple sclerosis including vaccine guidance, risks, treatment guidelines, resources and news.

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a respiratory illness that can spread from person to person. The health and safety of people with multiple sclerosis and their families is our top priority as we move through the COVID-19 pandemic together. MS doesn’t stop because of this crisis, and neither will we.

We share the most accurate and reliable guidance possible to help people with MS find their best path forward through this unprecedented crisis. We are finding new and creative ways to make sure everyone involved in the MS movement has a way to connect, to feel supported and informed and to raise funds and awareness —no matter where you are.
