Flu Shots
Cancer patients are considered high priority candidates for annual influenza immunizations and this certainly includes GIST patients. For those patients living in countries approaching winter (like the United States), this is the time to get your flu shot. In addition, you should talk to your doctor about getting a pneumococcal vaccine.November 2008
