Cancer patients do develop COVID-19 antibodies after being fully vaccinated, a new study suggests. This finding is great news for many patients and their physicians who worried that the vaccines would not be effective for cancer patients. Out of 200 patients in a Bronx, New York study, 94% developed COVID antibodies after being vaccinated. Due to their weaker immune systems, many medical experts have worried that vaccines would not be effective for cancer patients. This study has been the largest so far looking at vaccine effectiveness in cancer patients - previous studies have examined smaller numbers of patients.
