COVID booster shots
So, government has announced that those undergoing active chemo, radiotherapy and/or hormonal therapy are eligible for the booster shots as they are severely immuno-compromised.
I am 2.5 years NED and I am taking hormonal therapy. Silly question but does this mean I am eligible even though I am NED? If yes - I didn’t realise that I would classify as severely immunocompromised. Doesn’t make sense….

- WOW! After Reading the document - it would definitely indicate that those on Hormone therapy ARE eligible for the booster shot .... maybe check with your Onc tho?
I hadn't automatically included myself in those getting the booster shot when I heard it was announced .... but if they are offering it, it will give us better immunity .... so I guess I'd be getting it, as well as hubby who is on chemo!!
Thanks for putting it up!
