Hi
Has anyone had the covid vaccine withst on RChop? I have been advised to have it after second week of three weekly cycle. Just wondered if anyone has had similar advice/experience?
Many thanks
Hi again, from talking with many folks on this platform and other Lymphoma Support Platforms the advice is have the vaccine as soon as it is offered but obviously following the advice from your team based on where you are in treatment.
Any protection is better than none.
People are reporting little or no reactions and mainly the same as having your flu or Pneumonia jabs.
Lymphoma Action did a very helpful webinar discussion that you may want to have a look at
Hi I had mine this week and apart from an ache in my arm for 24 hours no other issues, so if the consultant says its ok see what can be arranged so the timing is the right time in your 3 week cycle.
