Covid booster and flu jab

If it was me I would definitely go for my jabs prior to radiotherapy. The side effects if any only last a couple of days but your immune system has been compromised by your treatment so get as much protection from flu and covid as possible. I am due surgery on Thursday followed by radiotherapy. I have flu jab booked for 23 Sept but definitely want my covid booster before radiotherapy. As soon as I can I will book booster jab. Good luck with everything. 

• Thankyou for your reply. Getting as much help with a low immune system makes sense. I am going to go ahead and book them.Good luck with your operation and treatment. I'm sure it will all go well.

completely agree with Evajean! Get all th help you can get and the jabs won't actually make you ill, it is just an immune response. Fingers crossed you don't get many side effects

Hi, I had Covid jabs during treatment as I wanted as much protection as possible 

I’m mid chemo and I will be getting both jabs as soon as I am invited!!

Hi there,

I had my spring booster 2 weeks after my last round of chemo when my white bloods cells had had a chance to recover. I had no side effects from it but it did give me a bit more confidence when going out.

Best Wishes
