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)?
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. It has no relation with cancer.  No need to worry about that.  It is not a communicable disease.  So vaccination for shingles have no any relation.  She can attend the cancer patients. Don't worry. Just be relaxed. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
