@smokie - Hello Barb, so glad to hear from you and that you found us again on Connect. Good to hear that Greg is doing well.

I have not had any direct contact from the team at Mayo on this. I had an appointment with my Oncologist/Hematologist last week. The answer I received when I asked was that those currently returning from treatment were told that they should have the Covid 19 vaccine anytime after 6 months post treatment. She said I should absolutely get the vaccine when it becomes available.

Did Greg ask his Doctor about it? What was he told?

On another note, I, like Greg, contracted Shingles, thankfully I was vaccinated so the symptoms were mild and went away quickly.

Can anyone else who has undergone Car-T treatment share what you have been told about receiving the Covid 19 vaccine?
