Just wanted to check with colleagues on this situation. Would you administer Zostavax vaccine to an elderly lady currently taking hydroxyurea? She tells me her blood counts are normal and her physician and oncologist have OK'd it for her. I contacted both her provider who wrote the prescription and her oncologist who both confirmed they wanted to give the vaccine despite the risk. Do you administer the contraindicated vaccine in the pharmacy setting? What are your thoughts?
