I am 76 and just over half way through chemo.

I have been told that the best time to have the vaccine is 5 days before the next chemo.

I am somewhat nervous of having it while on chemo.

Has anyone had it yet, while on chemo?

If so, how did it go?

  • Hi Kasa2

    I had the Oxford Covid vaccine 2 weeks ago, 4 days before my 2nd cycle of chemo. My Oncologist assured me that as it isn’t a live vaccine it’s perfectly safe to have while on chemo, and I personally experienced no side effects.

    Hope that helps,

    Love
