COVID-19 vaccination in patients with blood cancers and recalibrating the HLA barrier in haploidentical stem cell transplantation

In this week's podcast, we’ll focus on 2 reports on clinical outcomes following COVID-19 vaccination in patients with hematologic malignancies. Despite full or partial vaccination, these patients have an increased risk of poor outcomes compared to matched controls or the general population. In a third report, we discuss new data on HLA-mismatching and outcomes of haploidentical transplants.
