Flu vacine 2012 child had recent bone marrow transplant is vaccine good idea ? any research on this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Bond arrow transplant eliminates the white cells that contain memory of previous illnesses and vaccines. It is recommended to receive certain vaccines including the flu vaccine. Check with the hematologist first though as certain vaccines are live vaccines that should not be received if you are immunosuppressed.
