I have CLL and have been successfully treated with O&V earlier this year. I also had the recommended two doses of the Shingrix vaccination (against Shingles) two years ago. A close friend of mine, who also had CLL but despite my urging did not have the Shingrix vaccination. A couple of months ago he caught Shingles and had weeks of severe pain making him extremely weak. He then caught Covid 19 and died within a few days. His doctors say the combination of CLL damaging his immune system plus the Shingles infection and Covid was just too much for him.
In the light of all this I just wondered if anyone knows whether given my CLL and subsequent weakened immune system its worth me having an additional Shingrix vaccination?
