With an increasing number of individuals who are getting their COVID-19 vaccines, cancer patients are in a quandary on whether they should be vaccinated. Now, a number of cancer experts have weighed in on the issue.
The American Cancer Society (ACS) has revealed that there is a general consensus that vaccines are considered safe for most cancer patients.

What the body suggests is for cancer patients to discuss their options with their doctor.
