Shingles vaccine

Is it safe to have the shingles vaccine while taking imatinib?

It’s totally safe to have the Shingrix vaccine for shingles, as it is not a live vaccine. The older one is live, and should be avoided.

David.

Thank you very much David.
It was bothering me.

I took the shingles vaccine while on Imatinib and didn’t have any issues.
