Everyone's different of course but when I was in chemo - taxol and Herceptin once a week for 6 months, I asked the chemo doctor if I should get one, her answer was definitely since your immune system is down. but of course this is France and year by year ideas change so not sure what to suggest. I'm still on Herceptin and I'm going to get one. although last year if I'm correct we all wre immunized for the wrong flu - they guessed wrong.
check with your chemo people. I'm going to ask them about gettin a zoster vaccine since I had chicken pox as a kid and I've heard cancer patients (old ones like me!) can get shingles and this would prevent it. I'll let you know the answer unless someone else on the site has it already.
