Hello everyone,
By now I am sure you have seen the data regarding the impact of delaying the second COVID vaccine in people living with cancer. The CML Network is working with other cancer groups on writing a letter to the gov't to ensure that cancer patients are given the second dose in a timely manner that doesn't affect their protection from the virus.
