- Patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) receiving targeted cancer treatments, like tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), are considered highly vulnerable to SARS-CoV-2 and may not respond adequately to a single dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.
- A study evaluated immune responses in 16 CML patients after their first BNT162b2 vaccine dose, finding that 87.5% developed anti-Spike immunoglobulin G and all patients generated a neutralizing antibody response.
