I got all my "baby" shots from the specialist who coordinated my stem cell transplant. If your grandchildren are not vaccinated, yes stay away. If they are, just wear a mask because you are at risk for viruses and pneumonia. Did you know Walking Pneumonia is contagious? I was told to get a high-quality air filter and place it near the dining table. I managed to stay healthy through the holidays.

Your specialist should have given you a vaccination schedule. Some of mine were 6-9 months. Some like the MMR, which is a live virus is 2 years.

A doctor informed me not to get the shingles vaccine because she had the vaccine and ended up getting the shingles.
