Re: SHingles vaccine - anyone get it?
I saw my GP today, about a small issue. She went over all my details, vaccines, etc. So she treated my small problem, talked me into updating my Tetanus shot and called my oncologist to see if he, too. would recommend the Shingles shot. Onclogist nurse called back and said yes, get the Shingles shot. Earlier I had also read the warning on WEBMD not to get the Shingles shot if you had a suppressed immune system. So dumb question, 3 years plus after chemo....do I no longer have a suppressed immune system?
Thanks for your reponse,
Catherine
(Thank goodness I do not need the Singles Shot)
