- Avoid live vaccines. This includes, but is not limited to, rabies, MMR, yellow fever and some forms of shingles vaccine. You should advise any travel clinic that you are taking immunosuppression.
- Flu, Covid and Pneumonia vaccines are inactive vaccines – this means they are not live vaccines. Your GP will call you for these vaccines and we strongly advise that you have these. Find out more here
- Avoid contact with chicken pox. (As adults we tend to develop shingles rather than chicken pox, you may require anti-viral treatment from your GP).
- Prevent sunburn. (Check for changes in the skin and monitor freckles and moles for such as changes in size, shape, colour and weeping). Have any changes checked with your GP.
Sun burn can lead to skin damage which increases the risk of developing skin cancers. We recommend “slip, slap, slop” – slip on a shirt to cover up, slap on a hat, slop on the sunscreen. Find out more here
