I'm about to start lanreotide injections. I've just received an appointment for a COVID booster and it is 24 hours after my injection. Is this ok or should I reschedule the booster. Thanks

Hello Torpointblue and thanks for the post
Whilst patients undergoing cancer treatments are advised to keep undated with vaccinations the timing of these in relation to treatment is important. It is best to check with your own hospital team to be sure but it is my understanding that the covid vaccine should have a gap of more than a day after having the lanreotide injection.
Please get back to us if you need any more information or support. You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.
Best wishes,
Naomi
