The following was copied from a physician page I follow. Its a persepctive most people
don’t consider. Childhood cancer Is awful. ❤️🩹
Immunologists and Oncologists— child previously vaccinated with MMR, but after cancer treatments including ONE round of high dose (thiotepa and carbo) and rescue autologous SCT of course is no longer immune. Told can’t re-vaccinate with live vaccines until early Sept, however this is based on getting three rounds of high dose/SCT. Getting worried as measles creeps closer and my child didn’t survive cancer and it’s horrendous treatments to suffer from measles complications (thanks to those who consider vaccinating a choice…). Could we re-vaccinate with live vaccines earlier in this situation?
Picture not related to post except in the general sense of staying healthy.
