When to get COVID and flu jab

Hi Suze99

It is probably best to consult with your oncologist as we are all different, but I was told about 6 weeks ago that if you're having treatment,  it is not recommended to have the vaccine 3 days either side of having your treatment.

Check it out because since I asked, they have changed their minds and advised me not to have mine until I'm feeling better.

Hi I’ve just been notified to have my flu jab this Saturday of next. Seeing that I’m having chemo this Friday I will have to ring and see if it’s ok to have it.

Hi suze99 

May be worth ringing your GP as I think they will be the ones to organise it.

Hi Sue, I asked my cancer nurse each time Ive had the covid or flu jab . I'm on monthly immunotherapy, and was told to have the jabs in the middle  it may be different for other treatments. I had  my covid last sunday and am having my flu jab sunday coming. xx

I was told to have it second week after immuno, so went early in that period.
