It is stated with the PPV information statement that it can be
given with immunocompromised people such as receiving
chemotherapy and radiation treatment. My question is, can we
give PPV and flu vaccine same day or one day after chemotherapy
completed in her current cycle? The patient comes back every 14
days for her cycle. Does anyone has somethng to share and
clarify about it? Some physicians say it's okay to give, some
say to delay the vaccination, and some say don't give yet
because of pt's immunodeficiency status. There is no consistent
answer. I would really appreciate if one can give me an answer
from a very reliable source that I can give the vaccines.  -57
