Support your cancer patients with the COVID-19 and flu winter vaccination season
Learn how Oncodemia® can help you support your cancer patients this COVID-19 and flu Winter vaccination season
The JCVI and NHS have now issued guidance around the COVID-19 and flu winter vaccination season[1]. For flu vaccinations due to start in October 2024, one of the groups highlighted are those that are immunosuppressed[2], including cancer patients. This is a valuable opportunity to check that your cancer patients are up to date with their other routine vaccinations.
During overwhelming periods, like the Winter COVID-19 and flu vaccination season, there are many challenges in providing vaccination advice to cancer patients. The new “Routine Vaccinations in Cancer” module in Oncodemia® has been created in collaboration with The Royal Marsden Trust – a world-leading cancer centre - to provide you bite-size information to support you in having effective conversations with your cancer patients regarding routine vaccinations and much more.
