I'm a software developer, not a medical professional, so my opinion doesn't really matter for your situation. What I will say is that it took three seconds to google "covid vaccine multiple sclerosis" and I came to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society's COVID-19 page which says, "People with MS should be vaccinated against COVID-19...None of the available vaccines contain live virus and the vaccines will not cause COVID-19. The vaccines are not likely to trigger an MS relapse or have any impact on long-term disease progression. The risk of getting COVID-19 far outweighs any risk of having an MS relapse from the vaccine."

I'm double-vaccinated, I'm just not boosted. (I'm similar to someone else in this thread in that I was waiting for more information before getting boosted and caught Omicron first). I think boosters are a good idea for the general population, I just think that there might be a difference between 2 doses once and repeated activation of the immune system. Also there's a difference between the risk posed by the original variant or Delta vs. Omicron. Plus to be completely blunt, "not likely to trigger an MS relapse or have any impact on long-term disease progression" isn't language to inspire confidence. To be fair, I think we understand the vaccines pretty damn well, it's MS that I think we might not understand well enough here.
