Live MMR Vaccine Post-ASCT: Experiences?
AI-generated title
Hello from the UK. Hope you are all doing well. I had an autologous stem cell transplant 2 1/2 years ago for myeloma. I'm not sure if it's the same in the US but 24 months post AT I have been asked to have the LIVE MMR vaccine (measles,mumps and rubella) by my consultant but my nurse is concerned that with low immunity I'm at risk of being ovewhelmed by the live virus with serious consequences. My neutraphiles hover around .7 to 1.2 due to the lenalidamide/Revlimid treatment but I am generally very well. Has anyone else come across this dilemma? Would very much appreciate any experiences people have had. Unfortunately measles is on the rise here. Thank you.
