Tomorrow I Have An Office Visit And Will Be Discussing Getting Re-vaccinating After My Stem Cell Transplant.
I'm not a huge fan of pumping my body full of vaccines. Is there anyone out there who has had to deal with this? I just have a lot of concerns😔
I got all my vaccines and year after by SCT. I chose to do them all on the same day. About 7 shots in the bottom and arms. Then follow ups for the next 3 months. I had zero problems. I chose not to get flu related vaccines because they do not work for me. In about 3 months I will be getting "live" vaccines like polio and i do plan on spacing those out.
I think everyone is different and unique when it comes to vaccine reactions. But we have to remember that these things work and can save our lives.
Talk to your doctor before starting this up. Be honest about your anxiety but also talk honestly and don't let pandemic conspiracies influence your decision.
Good luck and I hope it all goes well.
