This video replay is aimed at medical professionals, but seems easy to follow and has some specific details that we all could use (world wide CLL patients).

We are excited to announce this new webcast on COVID-19 management strategies and vaccine recommendations for patients with hematologic malignancies.

This accredited, on-demand activity features presentations that outline recommendations and special considerations for vaccinating patients with hematologic malignancies against COVID-19.

Sorry, I kept exceeding the limits of characters in the Title, if I would have had more space it would have said from the perspective of Dr. Michael Satlin, Weill Cornell Medicine at New York Presbyterian Hospital- that is quite a mouthful.Len

Thanks for sharing this Len. He mentioned the approval of BAM and ETE (bamlanivimab and etesevimab) for post-exposure prophylaxis (for immunocompromised, high risk and unvaccinated etc.). I missed this earlier, but I guess the approval came out in September. fda.gov/drugs/drug-safety-a... I wonder if the use of combo mAb therapies will become more common for Covid (as has already been shown for CLL treatments)?
