Hi all, hubby recently diagnosed with MM and following spinal surgery is in his second week of chemotherapy. I will be arranging for him to have his Covid vaccine, would you recommend I pay privately to also have it.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

I would suggest that it would be a good move, and that you are being very thoughtful for thinking of this.

In particular, if and when he has a stem cell transplant (as not everybody has one), he will come back from hospital highly vulnerable to infection. You reducing the risk of passing on Covid to him at a time when his own vaccine protection has gone could make a big difference.

Thank you I appreciate your reply.

As your husband has been diagnosed with MM, I would have thought he would get a Covid jab free on the NHS?

I hope the rest of this chemo goes well.
