Can Seasonal Flu Shot Raise IGg Levels?
Hi, thanks. Can you be kind enough to tell me if a seasonal flu vaccine can affect igg levels a week after. I m being monitored for mgus each year, and the igg level this year increased from 2400 to 3000 after the flu shot. It had been quite stable before. Many thanks, Barbara

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that the flu vaccine would have cause an abnormal result with the IgG.
You may want to repeat the test in a few weeks to see if the result is different.
I hope this helps
