Can my mother take Pneumonia vaccine (Pneumovax 23) and Influenza vaccine (Influgen 0.5 ml) seven days before taking Denosumab (Olimab - product of India) injection. She is taking this injection twice in a year i.e on 1st March and 1st September every year.

My second question is should my mother go forward with two different injections i.e. Zoledronic acid and Denosumab in a month' gap? Or else, skip the two injections to be given in 1st Septembe 2020 (Denosumab)and 1st October 2020 (Zolendronic acid) in order to do lower jaw denture implantation by a maxillofacial surgeon.

She takes Olimab - 60 mg/ml (product of India) as Denosumab injection and Stoplos One - 5 mg infustion (product of India) as Zolendronic acid injection.

Hello, these are all questions you should ask your mother's doctors. Please ask your mother's doctor whether she should receive vaccinations while taking denosumab.

Here are some recommendations regarding bisphosphonate and/or denosumab treatments related to dental work: americanbonehealth.org/medi...

Prior to potent anti-resorptive therapy

See the dentist before starting potent anti-resorptive treatment

Tooth extraction is one of the key factors causing BRONJ in cancer patients taking BP or denosumab treatments [5]. Before starting such treatment, see your dentist and schedule all dental operations, such as tooth extraction, periodontal and endodontic treatments.

During BP treatment

See your doctor before any dental procedures

If you have been taking BPs for more than 3 years, ask your doctor if you need to stop taking them for 3‑6 months before any dental surgery.

I regret taking my pneumonia shot and flu shot on the same day. 8 days later I was very ill with polymyalgia rheumatica . I think I might have had this issue a slight case before but feel the 2 shots were too much on one day for my immune system.
