Did you get Covid 19 vaccination after recent chemo treatment?
I did not check with my oncology team or my family care physician
if I should get vaccinated for Covid and flu. I got the shots yesterday. The CDC recommends '
the vaccines for my age group, senior, immunocompromised. I' asked the oncology nurse if they agree with my decision. Her answer was:
"The vaccinations are your preference and we encourage you to discuss with your primary care physician. ...."
What do you think about this response? It surprised me.

update on the recent covid and flu shot:
the pain in the upper arm (where the shots were given) returned about 2 weeks ago, the emergence of the pain fluctuates, I can not fully lift the arm or stretch it out,
the weird thing is the other upper arms hurts too where I got a Covid shot about 6 months ago,
maybe there is a connection to getting iv treatment with avastin( for maintenance every 3 weeks)? I started doing my own physical therapy for the arms-I hope to achieve more arm movement-
