Thank You. I get different suggestions from my doctors. My cardiologist suggests I get the vaccine. The doctor that removed a lobe, Pulmonologist, will not discuss it. He hands out a paper from the NIH, and then will not discuss it. As I mentioned earlier my blood doctor and oncologist advise me not to. (I am immunocompromised as you mentioned, and have bleeding issues as well). I am OK and will be OK. Thank you for the info.
