My husband has recently had a SCT in March and is doing extremely well. He had his 2 covid jabs prior to going into hospital.
I have read the previous post suggesting having some protection after 12 weeks but does anyone know whether you will need the vaccinations again or will a booster in the autumn be enough. I know that there are rumours regarding the government vaccination process for cancer patients but it would be nice to have some sort of clarification if possible. I am aware that any revaccinations can only be done when your immune system has recovered. Many thanks

Great to hear all gone well for your husband

Your question is one for the medics.

If of any help I had SCT Dec 2019 and have had both Covid jabs. My myeloma consultant wanted to check if I have the covid antibodies ( he told me the stats at the moment are that c55% of myeloma patients have the antibodies). Heaslo said they have very little data on Covid and Myeloma at the moment.

You might also like to check whether the SCT means that the Covid jabs need to be done again ( SCT is known to wipe out some of the immunisations you have had ). I am still being reimmunised as is standard afterabout 6 – 12 months post SCT

http://www.Healthtree.org ( as specialist US site for myeloma patients ) is running a Covid research study you might be interested in for this and lots of other very helpful information

COVID19/MULTIPLE MYELOMA PART 2
From April – May of 2020, 1357 patients enrolled in the COVID study. The study was an Institutional Review Board (IRB-approved) study crafted by six myeloma researchers.
You can contribute to the COVID study Part 2 to help myeloma researchers understand how COVID has changed myeloma patients’ experience over time. Having participated in part 1 of this study is not a requirement to participate in part 2. The average time to complete this study is 10-15 minutes.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I suppose its unknown territory at the moment and I am sure we will know a little more when his immune system has recovered. Thank you again for the information.
