Hep A/ B vaccine

[LN55]

I will be going in for routine CBC's this week as part of my tx. I am in week 18 of 24 and as to be expected all my blood counts have steadily dropped below normal (WBC, HGB, platelets, etc.). Next week I am going to my GP's office for my 3rd and final A/B vaccine injection ( during week 19). With low WBC's is it okay to get this final shot? My first 2 injections took place before I started tx. Any input would be appreciated as I will ask that question to my PA also this week when they draw blood. Sometimes this type of info falls through the cracks during my doc visits.Just want to be prepared.

Thanks. The PA that I'm referring to is my hep PA at the liver center. I will definitely ask him and let him know that my final vaccine shot is scheduled next week at my GP's. They have been really good about communicating between the 2 offices but I've learned not to take it for granted. Thanks again.

Confirm this with your doctor before getting the shot.  I don't think there is a problem but if your PA doesn't know your treating for hepatitis C...you need to remind them before any new medications or vaccines.  They might want you to wait which I doubt...but I sure would be asking first.
