MMR Immunization And Velcade

Has anyone had any issues getting a MMR immunization while being on Velcade? The clinic where I've been getting my childhood immunizations wouldn't give me one until they checked with my oncologist, and he couldn't be reached while I was there.

Did Anyone Know About The New Generic Velcade?
