Hello
Just wondering about the timing of vaccines really.
I had 4 cycles of EC Chemo in July to end August, and am now between cycles 1 and 2 of Paclitaxel and Phesgo. Day 8 of Pacli cycle 1 was cancelled due to low WBC e.g. neutrophils at 0.6, but Day 15 went ahead on Friday following 3 more days of Filgrastim (which I had had for 7 days after each cycle of EC chemo).
I would appreciate advice regarding the best time to book in for my (1) Covid and (2) Flu vaccines.
I am asthmatic, so was always offered the flu jab anyway, but with the immune suppression that comes with chemo I'm not sure when to go ahead this year.
Thanks for your advice!
Hi GarageYoga
The best people to ask would be your chemotherapy nurses. When I had my Paclitaxel last week I asked when would it be best to have my covid booster and they said the day before I have my chemo. I'll be asking them this week about the flu jab.

As I said check with your own team that it's okay to go as you're on different treatment to me and your team's advice might not be the same!
