Has anyone with PV had the Shingrix vaccine recommended by their doctor, and were there side effects to be concerned about?
The search results provided don't contain specific information about the Shingrix vaccine and polycythemia vera. This is an important question to discuss directly with your hematologist or healthcare provider.
Since people with PV have altered immune systems due to their condition and treatments, your doctor can evaluate:
- Whether the vaccine is appropriate for your specific situation
- Potential interactions with your current PV medications
- Any special timing considerations around your treatment schedule
- What side effects to monitor for given your condition
