Question on H1N1 vaccination for low ANC MDS patients?
The AA/MDS Foundation posting indicates that MDS patients should take the normal flu and H1N1 vaccinations.
I have a very low ANC, .15 to .30 (150-300), and last year my hematologist did not recommend that I take the normal flu shot.
I've talked to a few MDS patients whose doctors have recommended a flu and H1N1 shot for them.
Have any MDS patients with very low ANC values been instructed to take the flu or H1N1 shots?
