A recent analysis conducted on 1503 cancer patients undergoing treatment at Centre Leon Berard in Lyon, France concluded that "COVID-19 vaccination is efficient in patients with cancer." Further, the study authors, lead by professor Jean-Yves Blay of the Department of Medical Oncology at Centre Leon Berard emphasized the importance of cancer patients receiving 2 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine: "overall death rate in a period of 2 months following the first vaccine dose was significantly higher in patients who received only one dose of COVID-19 vaccine."
