There is no interaction between the vaccine and the drug. You should get the vaccine.
The vaccine is quite beneficial for such patients because the immune system is not perfect in such patients and prophylaxis should be offered against pneumonia.
This vaccine is recommended in all patients with chronic diseases so you should get it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care

Dr Mahboob Ur Rahman , General & Family Physician
