Abstract:
We report data on uptake and perspectives on SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and postvaccination adverse reactions in 208 recently diagnosed patients with cancer (median age 63 years, 52.4% women, 33.2% non-White minorities, Table 1 ) at a large healthcare system in Los Angeles spanning the timeline from limited vaccine availability to broader dissemination (November 2020 to July 2021). Vaccine hesitancy and perspectives were measured using a modified version of the World Health Organization Vaccine Hesitancy Scale (Supplementary Material, available at (...)
We report data on uptake and perspectives on SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and postvaccination adverse reactions in 208 recently diagnosed patients with cancer (median age 63 years, 52.4% women, 33.2% non-White minorities, Table 1 ) at a large healthcare system in Los Angeles spanning the timeline from limited vaccine availability to broader dissemination (November 2020 to July 2021). Vaccine hesitancy and perspectives were measured using a modified version of the World Health Organization Vaccine Hesitancy Scale (Supplementary Material, available at https://doi.org/10.1016/j.annonc.2021.10.005).3 A self-administered symptoms questionnaire was given to vaccinated recipients after dose 1 (D1) and D2 for messenger RNA (mRNA) SARS-CoV-2 vaccines. Electronic medical records provided correlative clinical information. Chi-square tests were used to assess differences for categorical variables and a Wilcoxon rank-sum test for continuous variables (Stata v. 15.1). All tests were two-sided and considered statistically significant at P < 0.05. (Read More)
