I have been on ibrutinib for over 7 1/2 years AND I am being treated by one of the top CLL Medical and Research teams in the world and there was no mention of stopping Ibrutinib to get the vaccine. They did encourage me to get it as soon as I could even though there is no data to determine how those of us with a compromised immune system will respond. I had my second dose on Feb 9th and there has been no noticeable change in any of my numbers.
