Covid booster and radiotherapy

I got a notification for the booster, finished 2 months now, so you should too. Not sure if or how much you should wait.

Hi I've read that too. Someone else posted that their doctor has advised them to wait 3 weeks after radiotherapy finishes so that's what I'm going to do. 

Thank you for replying. I start RT on Wednesday so I'll ask but so far no-one has mentioned it  

Hi I'm new to this as recently diagnosed. However I rang aoc chemist and asked about covid booster as I'm not old enough yet despite having g COPD. The answer was if you are diagnosed with  cancer you can have the booster. Hope this helps 

I got offered covid jab just the other week along with the flu. Wont be taking either 

Hello,  just a thought but if you have COPD you should seriously consider getting the Covid and flu shot.  
I don’t know about the time frame regarding radiation and the jabs but can ask Dr about it.  

I remember when I was going through Cancer surgery and treatment that I had my immunizations up to date.  This was in 2021 and 2022 so it was in the news more and I live in US.

Take care

Covid booster available for 6 months post RT or CT. I was advised I could have it during RT treatment. Had it, no problems as I’m glad I did. Thanks for all the answers. It really helps

Hi a few days ago I answered a question about covid jab and radiotherapy. I received a phonecall yesterday from my GP who had received a memo from tbe hospital advising i needed the covid booster. I am not otherwise eligible as yet. Hope this clarifies things a bit more. Fortunately I had already researched this and contacted a participating chemist who was willing. to give me the booster

Hi Pool pleased your sorted now. I had mine on Wednesday- I waited a month after radiotherapy though as wasn't feeling great after radiotherapy and also started letrozole 3 weeks ago - just wanted to space things out a bit. They asked why I was eligible and I said I'd had radiotherapy last month and they went ahead with the jab without asking for any proof  although I did have my radiotherapy discharge letter with me in case they wanted proof. My arm was sore but has eased off now and felt a bit under the weather yesterday morning but fine now.
