Very useful information Brian, thanks for the post. The end bracket got caught up in the link, have removed it, the link to your article from your post is now working.

Many thanks

Agree with Steve. CDC is usually very on target with regards vaccines, though they got the zoster vaccine in CLL wrong. I included a link to the CDC in my post at bkoffman.blogspot.com. Should get Prevnar 1st, but if you have already had Pneumovax, I would follow up with Prevnar
