Feb 2015

but my husband had to begin vaccinations after chemo AND an allogeneic transplant (another person's cells) and it is standard procedure after an allo transplant. Just check with the doctor on Monday, hope that helps.

They can do a test to see if your daughter still has immunity against the measles etc. My husband needed most childhood vaccinations, but not all of them.
