Hello,
A perennial question for this time of year but this is my first autumn with the big C.
I have been called in by the GP surgery to have the flu jab in the next few weeks but I am also due to start a maintenance course of BCG.
Is it better to rush to have it with a week before the BCG or to wait until after the maintenance course?
The GPs dont recommend mixing the two at the same time. Has anyone come across this before? Thanks.
Sorry if I've missed any previous discussion about this.
