@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?

Thanks for your answer, Bob. Greg’s Dr said that the Mayo was recommending the vaccine.
So glad that your recovery from shingles was good. Greg got the vaccine- but wish it had been before that terrible bout with shingles.
I thank God every day for the Mayo and CAR T
Cell Theraphy! Take care. Barb
