COVID-19 is a significant threat to the health of everyone, particularly people with cancer. Studies have shown that people with cancer have a higher risk than the general population of being hospitalized, of developing a critical illness from COVID-19, and of dying from COVID-19.
To protect themselves, people with cancer should reduce their risk of exposure to the virus, accept a vaccine when it becomes available, and encourage those they come in contact with to get vaccinated too.
