Can Visiting Shingle Vaccinated Cause Any Problem To Cancer Patient?
Is it dangerous for a cancer patient to be near someone who has been vaccinated for shingles? My mom is a palliative cancer patient, and her sister recently received a shingles vaccine. Is it ok for her to be visiting her (and/or is it ok for her to be in the hospice with other cancer patients)?
