My husband is a two time stem cell transplant patient, he was told at Mayo not to get the shingles vaccine. His current oncologist has not reversed that recommendation with the newer vaccine.

@auntieoakley First, I meant to ask if anyone else had been told to not get the shingrix vaccine.
Why was your husband told to not get Shingrix since it is not live? Is he by chance also a patient at Mass General? They are waiting for approval from the infectious disease department. Granted, I am sure that department was over-burdened the last year and a half but this has been going on since well before the pandemic.
