CLLAN/ALAN´s joint webinar on COVID-19 vaccination and immune challenges for leukemia - 11 Feb 2021

[Jm954]

For those of you that are interested in the immune response in CLL. This is a joint webinar held on 11/2/2021 by CLL Advocates Network and the Acute Leukaemia Advocates Network so not exclusively CLL.

Lots of good information here which is CORRECT AS OF DATE OF WEBINAR 11 Feb 2021.

It appears from their observations that taking a BTKi did not influence the fatality rate if the patient was ill enough to require hospitalisation and that treatment should not be paused because of covid infection.

Helpful slides on how the vaccines work, the covid treatment algorithm in the UK, how viral mutations occur and measurement of response to vaccination.

Be aware that it's quite long at 90 minutes but you can skip the acute leukaemia parts.
