appreciated.

Hi Peter,
Just for your information. I recently had that vaccine and it had to be
done in order for me to be on the kidney transplant list. I am listed at
three different transplant hospitals in Florida, and only one had asked
that I get it.
Since I had a bone marrow transplant more then 25 years
end not having the shot.
Blessings,
Susan F. Zimmerman

The question is whether it is safe for CML patients. The info I have found

The reason we CMLers can't take the shingles vaccine is because it is made
of the attenuated live virus and we're at risk of developing the disease
rather than becoming resistant to it.
