Published Thursday, April 29, 2021 5:06PM EDT Elya Martinson has two important milestones approaching: the anniversary of her cancer diagnosis on Friday, and on Tuesday, the day she d be fully immunized against COVID-19 - if her second vaccine dose is not delayed four months. The single mother of three in Kelowna, B.C., received her first shot of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine on April 14, and says she was told at the time she would have to wait until August before booking again, despite having stage 4 lung cancer. Pfizer recommends a 21-day interval between shots of its two-dose vaccine, and like several provinces, British Columbia does not offer medical exemptions for higher risk cancer patients like Martinson. ....

Friday marks the one-year cancerversary of the day the single mother of three in Kelowna, B.C., learned she had Stage 4 lung cancer, a diagnosis made all the more devastating that the COVID-19 crisis forced her children to stay home from school to shield her from the severe risks of infection.

Article content Advocates across the country are calling on provincial governments to adjust COVID-19 vaccine prioritization so cancer patients receive their second dose within four weeks rather than waiting up to 16 weeks. Concern over a delayed second dose comes from preliminary data out of the U.K. which found people with solid cancers (a physical tumour) and blood cancers had a much lower antibody response following just one dose of the Pfizer vaccine compared to healthy people. When a second booster was given 21 days later, nearly all solid cancer patients had a much higher antibody response. This means delaying a second dose could prevent patients from having a fuller response to the vaccine and leaves them susceptible to COVID-19 while they wait for their second jab. ....
Article content Cancer patients in Alberta are calling on the provincial government to ensure they get their second dose of the vaccine in the manufacturer’s recommended timeframe, after studies suggest the first dose may do little for immunocompromised people.
