Are they on hospice care? Generally, for someone who is terminal, the only medications given are for comfort. I can't imagine why anyone would give a dying person a vaccination. Sometimes, antibiotics may be given, say for strep, because of the pain. You'll need to talk to a medical person about this. If you aren't sure about the primary doctor, get another opinion.
