This is such an important question to discuss with your healthcare team, especially since vaccines can work differently for people with CLL. Your oncologist or hematologist will know best based on your specific treatment status, blood counts, and overall health picture - they can give you personalized guidance about timing and what to expect from flu vaccination with your condition.
