Abstract

The new coronavirus severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has produced a global pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), resulting in modifications to public health policies on a universal scale. SARS-CoV-2 vaccine has evolved as the most effective and secure way for protecting healthy individuals against COVID-19. Patients with cancer were excluded from clinical trials due to their increased COVID-19 risk and current immunosuppressing therapy. Safety and effectiveness evidence is insufficient for SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in cancer patients.
