Travel vaccinations

I am supposed to be travelling to India early November for a holiday booked a long time ago.  I am now on alpelisilib and fluvestrant for advanced breast cancer.  Can I get a non-live typhoid vaccine?  I understand I cannot have a live vaccine as I have a weakened immune system.  Thanks

    Hi Alison, sorry I can’t answer your question as I’d had all my vaccines before diagnosis. Just wanted to say we’re going to India in November too, I was so happy when the consultant said it would be OK to go. 

    Have a wonderful time, xxx. I’ve sent a friend request if you’d like to chat about India, xxx.
