The Health Ministry says it is currently not recommending cancer patients receive a third dose of the coronavirus vaccine, after approving the administration of booster shots to the immunocompromised.

Citing figures from several hospitals, a ministry statement says around 90% of those undergoing chemotherapy were found to still have a high level of antibodies several months after being vaccinated.

It also warns of potential side effects from the vaccine among those with cancer.

A little clarification.

"In addition, the vaccination could have side effects... that could affect the oncological treatment," the ministry said.
