Current national COVID‐19 vaccination guidelines and recommendations focus vaccine guidance on patients with cancer. In this COVID‐19 vaccination race, “cocoon vaccination” strategies, which include informal caregivers and household contacts as priority groups for SARS‐CoV‐2 vaccination, could be an additional strategy used to protect patients with cancer who may have limited immune responses to current vaccinations. Medical systems specializing in cancer care should support education and vaccination campaigns which target informal caregivers and household contacts in addition to cancer patients.
当前国家新冠病毒疫苗接种指南和建议将疫苗指导重点放在癌症患者身上。在这场新冠病毒疫苗接种竞赛中,“蚕茧式接种”策略,即将非正式照护者和家庭接触者列为新冠病毒疫苗接种的优先群体,可能是一种额外的策略,用于保护那些对当前疫苗免疫反应可能有限的癌症患者。专门从事癌症护理的医疗系统除了应对癌症患者外,还应支持针对非正式照护者和家庭接触者的教育和疫苗接种活动。
