Hello Debbie, I had my flu shot this morning and I have had no noticeable effects. I have been keeping my vaccines up to date and my immune system is in good shape. In Oregon we have to get a doctors referral for the covid booster so that is my next mission. We have seen a upsurge of covid in the state and I would hate to get infected. But good advise is to ask your oncologist and stay safe. Best Wishes πŸ‘¨β€βœˆοΈ

My oncologist said it was okay for me to take but I hate to advise you the wrong way because we are all so different what we have going on in our bodies right now. Please ask your oncologist first.

Yes now we need a prescription for a COVID vaccine even though some of us are over 65 Thank you JFK for this!
Also I have found that every time I get a COVID vaccine I get sick with something else! I am not sure if it weakens my immune system . I was advised not to get flu , RSV or COVID vaccine all together but last year I got RSV right after the Covid vaccine I think you should consult your doctor

I got my covid shot yesterday and had absolutely no after effects, now when I am at the coast I will be much less afraid of being breathed on. Stay healthy and strong. Best wishes πŸ‘¨β€βœˆοΈ
