Hi Kothal,
Good question. I spoke with my doctor about this and since I have had two
episodes of the Harpies Zoster virus (Shingles) he told me to go ahead and
have the vaccine. However I am not or have ever been on any TKI's because
they were not yet available 26 years ago when I had my bone marr
My hematologist said, there are no data or studies available about this
subject, so nobody really knows.
For this reason, no doctor will recommend it.
Zostavax contains a live virus; if your immune system is not up to snuff,
you could well end up getting shingles from the vaccine.

My doctor did not recommend the vaccination to me. I woke up one morning last
year with blisters on my shoulder. Recognizing what it was, I was at the
hospital within half an hour and received immediate medication. The patch of
shingles stayed at about 2" by 3", and healed quickly. The real pro
I chose not too however I do take a flu shot yearly.

Angie who knows what to say about this? Some doctors say no while others
say yes. Since I already got the shingles way before my kidney transplant
and way after my bone marrow transplant it was fine then. But now after my
kidney transplant and that I am on a lot of immune suppressive drugs,

If you already had the chicken pox then the virus is already in you. Just
be sure if you see a small rash just starting then contact your doctor. If
you do start to get the shingles then there is a cream called silver sulfur
dyne. Ask your d
I was in a trial for a while to test if a shingle vaccine could be made
without the live virus. The results have not been released yet. I was
diagnosed with CML in 2003.
