Blood cancer patients unaware they may not get full protection from Covid jabs | Wilts and Gloucestershire Standard

Eight in 10 people with blood cancer have not been told they are not fully protected by the Covid-19 vaccine, a charity has warned. An online survey by Blood Cancer UK of around 1,000 people found that 80% were not told by the NHS that their weakened immune systems lessened the chance they would have an immune response to the jab. The charity said this means people with blood cancer are at a high risk of contracting coronavirus despite having both doses of a vaccine, and are also more likely to get severely ill. Gemma Peters, chief executive of Blood Cancer UK, said: “We have known since the start of the vaccination programme that immunocompromised people were less likely to be protected by the vaccines, and over the last few months research we have funded has shown that many blood cancers and treatments have a significant impact on vaccine response.
