Hi has anyone had the COVID vaccine? Are cancer patients /post treatment allowed I had mine yesterday , I did tell that I’d had cancer treatment, but I’ve read that you should talk to the oncologist or someone in the cancer team if you should have it. I am a bad worrier.. love to all. Not stopped snowing hear in London and settled.

Hi Nelly1955,

I went for my Covid vaccine last week and told the nurse that I had finished chemo a few months ago and she made some enquiries then told me it was okay for me to have the vaccine. Try not to worry.

Take care

Thank you Karen & Polly; I did look on a link and it said if offered take it. It is not a live vaccine. It seems a bit of an debate if cancer patients should be prioritised. I didn’t think to ask anyone before I went, but I did tell them when I got there. I did tell them when treatment finished. Take care and thank you for replying.

Hi Nelly1955

Like Polly I had my vaccine and told the vaccinator that I had had recent treatment for cancer and due for surgery. She checked with a colleague and I was told it was fine to go ahead. I had no ill-effects apart from a sore arm for a day or so! It was over 3 weeks ago now so hopefully my antibodies are active now

Like you say, one thing less to worry about!
