Shingles Vaccine a "no" for "chemo" people

Re: The Shingles Vaccine I posted. I just scanned the CDC post about this. I could not make it copy and paste over to this post. Quick summary: If you have a weakened immune sysetem or have had chemo you cannot have the vaccine. I am still going to ask my oncologist.
