Hi all has anyone been offered their shingles and pneumonia vaccines. I had my flu and covid with no problems. Since then I have started palliative chemo and wondering if its OK to both these new jabs .
Best to check, i am not sure, if they are, i have not had them.

I have contacted my palliative chemotherapy nurse to ask as unsure if I need or able to as on chemo. Thanks for your feedback its appreciated
Hi, Up to now, I have had all my Covid injections and every year I get the flu jag but I have not taken the shingles or pneumonia jags as I think it would be just too much for my system to cope with!
Love Annette x
