I have been following this Topic with interest and shall ask for the shingles vaccination at my next GP or Oncologists visit.
My immune system is compromised after a recent Splenectomy (along with removal of large tumour - sarcoma) and now being on oral Chemotherapy for life.
Have already had the flu plus pneumococcus, Haemophilus influenza type B (Hib), and meningococcal vaccinations.
