  • Haematology COVID-19 Vaccination
    COVID-19 Vaccine in patients with haematological disorders British Society for Haematology This statement has been produced by the British Society for Haematology and has been reviewed by the Intercollegiate Committee on Haematology, on behalf of the Royal College of Physicians of London and the Royal College of Pathologists. Specialist haematology groups have also contributed. V1 21st December 2020 Information on the new COVID-19 vaccine The Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine has been authorised for use by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Authority (MHRA), it was introduced into use in the UK on 8th Dec 2020. This is not a ‘live’ vaccine so should be safe for most patients with blood cancer. It is likely that other vaccines will be authorised and be available over the coming weeks. Patients with haematological conditions will be invited for the vaccination over the next weeks and months and many will fall within the priority groups for vaccination. Patients who are receiving chemotherapy or immunosuppression should discuss with their hospital clinicians if they can safely receive the vaccine and optimal timing of administration. There is no current evidence that the vaccine might be a risk to the immunosuppressed patient. This document aims to support medical staff in providing this advice and has been collated from information currently available and from expert opinion. It will be updated as more information becomes available. Many patients with haematological conditions are on therapy that will induce immunosuppression or will be immunocompromised as a consequence of their underlying disease and they may have a reduced response to the vaccine.
