Abstract in brief

  • COVID-19 vaccines have been rapidly developed and approved, with over ten vaccines authorized and more in trials, providing crucial tools during a global surge in cases.
  • For cancer patients, the safety and effectiveness of these vaccines are generally promising, even though their immune systems may be compromised by the cancer itself or treatments, and most current cancer therapies do not hinder the development of protective immunity.
  • Experts recommend that most cancer patients should receive COVID-19 vaccinations, but further research is needed to better understand how these vaccines work specifically in immunocompromised individuals.]
