Hi all, I was diagnosed Dec 2020 with CLL, in wait and see period. Going through and getting all the vaccines up to date and wondering about the covid shot and not knowing if one is better than others for someone with CLL. Was wondering how everyone else is doing with the shots they had?

I was diagnosed in 2002 on Venteclax now. Had the 2 Pfizer shots no problems with either one. Had my antibodies tests and had 56.80. All good. Stay safe and get your shots. Anna

My husband has CLL (5 yrs now) and W&W. His specialist told him “the best vaccine is the first one you get.” We got AZ. In Canada, we have to wait awhile for our second sadly, up to 16 weeks.
