Can I have the Springtime Covid 19 vaccination while having immunotherapy (Lenvatinib & Pembrolizumab)?

I am currently having immuno therapy using  both Lenvatinib and Pembrolizumab. Does anyone know if it is OK to have the Springtime Covid 19 vaccination? 

  • Hi Papageno, 

    I hope that you will hear from other members of our community who are also having immunotherapy with Lenvatinib and Pembrolizumab and that they will be able to tell you whether they were themselves OK to have the Covid 19 vaccination. I think the best thing to do really is to contact your medical team or doctor who will have access to all your medical notes and will be able to advise you as to whether you are eligible for the Covid19 vaccination. So do give them a ring tomorrow and I am sure they will be able to help. 

    Our cancer nurses are also available on freephone 0808 800 4040 and may be able to offer further guidance. Do give them a call Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm  if you would like to talk things through with them. 

    I hope you find out more soon about this!

    Best wishes,
