Vaccine with lymphoma

My father has had the vaccine and was in remission from non hodgkinson lymphoma. He had his routine blood test for his cancer about 2 weeks after the vaccine was administered, slight concerns the cancer is back as showing low white blood count and possibly neutropenic. Has anyone else had the same issues? I'm still hopeful it's maybe just a response from the vaccine and the next blood test few weeks later will be better? 

  • Hello HarrieteH, 

    I am sorry to hear that your father had his routine blood test 2 weeks after being administered the vaccine and that it has flagged some potential areas of concern. I hope that you will hear from others on the forum who have experienced similar issues and that they will share their experience with you. 

    I hope that the next blood test will be better. Perhaps you could ask your father's doctor whether they could explain to you what these initial blood test results might mean?

    Best wishes,
