In the document there is no mention of the oxford astrazeneca vaccine. Is there a specific reason for this? I am advised that the oxford astrazeneca vaccine is safe for CLL patients.

Not yet approved in USA. Will be updating

I'd also love to know about the Chinese and Russian vaccines, but understand if that's outside of your scope. They are available in some of Europe and might be accessible faster to me than any of the others.

Does CLL Society have any views on the other vaccines that are available to us folks outside the US?
