Re: shingles vaccine

I guess I'd ask you onc, then you'd know for sure. And you are asking about 2 drugs in particular, so, again, I'd ask...

If my memory is correct, I believe it is not recommended to get the shingles vaccine during the time that you are receiving chemo, but it is OK after chemo and if you are over 60 years of age.
