Should a person on chemo which includes Herceptin avoid people that recently received the flu shots?
Unless you think they may also have the flu, then avoidance is unnecessary if they received a flu shot. Flu shots contain a vaccine made with "dead" viruses, so there is no concern for those with compromised immune systems. In some people, it may be recommended that they avoid direct contact for a short period of time with those who received the flu mist instead of the injection. The intra-nasal flu vaccine is made with weakened viruses that can't make someone with a healthy immune system sick. However, there is a minuscule chance of one of the weakened particles causing a problem if they are immuno-suppressed. See the related questions below.
