Guest guest Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 What is the latest thinking on killed virus flu vaccines for us with CLL? My doc at Sloan Kettering (NYC) says no. She feels that any new antibodies could be harmful. I AM ALLERGIC to Rituxan. (Started to discover after the second infusion .. more so after third .. extreme reaction after fourth.) Taking IVIG about once a month. Starting (hopefully) to stabilize at platelets between 35 - 50. Red and white cell counts within normal range. Thx Mel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
