Our group has posted guidance for myeloma patients on COVID vaccination. I recommend the same for ππ‘π‘ πππ£πππ§ patients. msmart.org @MayoMyeloma @MayoCancerCare 
Which vaccine? Whichever approved vaccine you are offered.
Should I worry about which day of chemo or should I hold chemo?
No. These chemo drugs work for a long time and you can never be fully free from their effect. You may lose your spot in line or keep waiting for the βperfectβ opportunity. Just get the vaccine when offered.

Is it safe?
Yes. There is no reason to believe or cancer or chemo make the vaccine more risky.

Will it work as well?
We donβt know. But it will work way better than no vaccine. So just get it.

The only real contraindications are those in the FDA factsheets: Severe allergy to prior dose of the vaccine or severe allergy to any ingredient in the vaccine
Moderna is approved for 18 & older. Pfizer for 16 & older. Children wonβt be able to access these vaccines at this time

If you have never had severe allergy to anything you donβt have to worry. If you have severe allergy to something discuss details with your healthcare provider.
