Question: I have stage 2 MIBC. My doctor is concerned that I will develop shingles during chemo or TMT. There is not time for 2 RZV injections before I start cancer treatment, and I may not be able to find RZV. Should I get ZVL, one shot of RZV, or neither? If I cannot find RZV, should I get the ZVL?
