Miriam,

Generally, it's permitted, but as Wendy suggested, it's always a good idea to check with your doctor.

My gastroenterologist allowed me to get the flu shot while I was on Harvoni. But yes, ask doc and specialty pharm as well, better to be safe than sorry.

With flu season coming, the question of flu shots arises. I figure I'll  get my shot after Sept 16th when I  take my last pill (yea!!!).    Would anything show up in the post treatment bloodwork?   Should  call Gilead  pharmacist?
