Question : I have stage 2 MIBC. My doctor is concerned that I will develop shingles during chemo or TMT. There is not time for 2 RZV injections before I start cancer treatment, and I may not be able to find RZV. Should I get ZVL, one shot of RZV, or neither? If I cannot find RZV, should I get the ZVL?

Hello and thank you for asking

Ad you said before starting the treatment for cancer you have not time, so in my opinion you can get one shot RZV
