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 .

As long as they are not, live vaccines, that is what i was told, when on treatment.

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!
