When I was in chemo I asked the doctors at the hospital in France about the flu vaccine and they said yes get one, your immune system is down and it would not be good to get the flu.
One year many years ago before I had cancer, I got the flu and I was very sick for nearly a week and so weak I decided after that to always get one unless it was not advised for some reason. My husband and I will get one shortly.
Of course if they pick the wrong flu, it's useless and staying away from sick people is a good idea but not easy! of course during chemo it is especially important.
