Summary:
- The Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) has released guidance on COVID-19 vaccination for people with weakened immune systems, such as those with cancer, organ transplants, or autoimmune disorders.
- The guidance recommends that these individuals receive an additional dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, as well as a booster shot, to provide better protection against the virus.
- The guidance also suggests that people with weakened immune systems continue to take precautions, such as wearing masks and avoiding crowded indoor settings, even after vaccination, as they may not develop as strong an immune response as the general population.
