I am going to Dubai and Thailand for 15 days leaving next week for vacation and my oncologist said I should go to see a travel medicine nurse. Here is what the nurse suggested I have next week before my trip. Anyone have any experience with getting these vaccines while having CML and being on a TKI? Any issues I should be concerned about?

Hepatitis A

Typhoid

TDAP (Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis)

Diagnosed Age: 28
Diagnosed Date: Oct-20-2015
0-27 Months Rx: Sprycel 100mg
Current Rx: Sprycel 50mg

0 Month PCR = 87%
3 Month PCR = 1.2%
6 Month PCR = 0.64%
9 Month PCR = 0.26%
12 Month PCR = 0.21%
15 Month PCR = 0.15%
18 Month PCR = 0.11%
21 Month PCR = 0.05%
24 Month PCR = 0.04%
27 Month PCR = 0.01%

I think you should be fine, none are live vaccines. I may have had Tdap pre-diagnosis. I'd go ahead and get them so you can start developing immunity.

You can read guidelines at cdc.gov
