Come to find out I am suppose to have some vaccine boosters (obviously not just the flu vac, to vol. in certain areas), and found out that with the mtx and aza that I am on you cannot have them or at least it is very risky.  Has anyone else run into these issues, and what did you do?

I went for a flu shot and was declined because of having a sinus infection, then had surgery and have to wait a month after surgery to get it. By the time I finally get the darn shot, I'll probably get the flu from work...Geez...

If you find out more info about what we're "supposed" to get, please come back and let us know.

Same. I had to let a lot of mine lapse because I was living with someone who'd had a bone marrow transplant. And then, when I was able to renew them, I wasn't allowed to get a lot of them because of being on CD meds.

I was simply advised not to have them, at least while on these strong meds.

What, in particular, are you asking, Navy?

It is time for me to either take the booster or else I have to go the whole series again come next year.

Oh. But what makes them think you'll be able to take any of them next year?
