Can Pnu-Imune 23 Be Taken Before A Cochlear Implant Surgery?
I am getting a cochlear implant next Monday, I got the Prevnar 13 vaccination on June 20. The pharmacist refuses to give me the second vaccination because he told me I needed to wait six months. Can I take the Pnu-Imune 23 and Pneunovax 23 two days before the surgery or should I wait until after the surgery?
