The Access to COVID-19 Tools (ACT) Accelerator
The goal of the ACT Accelerator is to end the COVID-19 pandemic as quickly as possible by reducing COVID-
19 mortality and severe disease through the accelerated development, equitable allocation, and scaled-up
delivery of vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics to reduce mortality and severe disease. This will accelerate the
end of the health and economic crisis, restoring full societal and economic activity globally in the near term and
facilitating high-level control of COVID-19 disease in the medium term.
By the end of 2020, the Diagnostics, Therapeutics, Vaccine the Health Systems Connector pillars were
established. The vaccines pillar of the ACT-Accelerator is speeding up the search for an effective vaccine for all
countries
With a fast-moving pandemic, no one is safe, unless everyone is safe

Emergency Use Authorizations (EUA)
An Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) is a mechanism to facilitate the availability and use of medical
countermeasures, including vaccines, during public health emergencies, such as the current COVID-19
pandemic. Under an EUA, FDA may allow the use of unapproved medical products, or unapproved uses of
approved medical products in an emergency to diagnose, treat, or prevent serious or life-threatening diseases or
conditions when certain statutory criteria have been met, including that there are no adequate, approved, and
available alternatives.
Manufacturers are required to submit an EUA request to the FDA for review

Answers to The Most Common
Questions About The Use of
The Vaccine in Cancer Patients
04
General Rule:
Yes, vaccines are important for patients with cancer as they are at increased of serious
infection. Many of these infections are vaccine preventable.
All indicated vaccines should be given to adult cancer patients before initiation of
chemotherapy, before therapy with other immunosuppressive drugs, and before radiation or
splenectomy, when feasible.
Indicated inactivated vaccines should be given ≥2 weeks prior to chemotherapy and
indicated live-virus vaccines should be given ≥4 weeks prior to chemotherapy.
Q1 Shall cancer patients receive any vaccine?
A1
Patients with cancer currently receiving chemotherapy or other immunosuppressive therapy
should not receive live-virus vaccines because of the risk of vaccine-derived infections.
Patients with cancer currently receiving chemotherapy or other immunosuppressive therapy
should not receive inactivated vaccines because they may not be effective
Q1 Shall cancer patients receive any vaccine?
A1
Yes, if they have no contraindications.
CDC: Immunocompromised individuals can receive COVID-19 vaccination if they have no
contraindications to vaccination. However, they should be counselled about the unknown
vaccine safety profile and effectiveness in immunocompromised populations, and the
potential for reduced immune responses and the need to continue to follow all current
guidance to protect themselves against COVID-19.
The JCVI: The committee’s advice is to offer vaccination to those aged 65 years and older
followed by those in clinical risk groups aged 16 years and older including cancer patients.
Q2 Are cancer patients eligible to receive COVID-19 vaccine?
A2
Contraindication to COVID-19 Vaccine
CDC considers a history of the following to be a contraindication to vaccination with
both the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines:
Severe allergic reaction (e.g., anaphylaxis) after a previous dose of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine
or any of its components
Immediate allergic reaction of any severity to a previous dose of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine or any
of its components (including polyethylene glycol [PEG])
Immediate allergic reaction of any severity to polysorbate (due to potential cross-reactive
hypersensitivity with the vaccine ingredient PEG)
Yes, persons with immunocompromising conditions or who take immunosuppressive
medications or therapies might be at increased risk for severe COVID-19. Thus, they should
be prioritized to take the COVID-19 vaccine including those who are in remission.
The available evidence supports that patients with cancer, in particular with hematologic
malignancies, should be considered among the very high-risk groups for priority COVID-19
vaccination.
Q3 Do cancer patients need to be vaccinated?
A3
Not yet, despite several vaccine candidates being in phase 2/3 clinical trials, no current
clinical trial of a COVID-19 vaccine has enrolled immunocompromised patients. Thus, the
efficacy and safety of a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine has not been established in the different
immunocompromised patient populations.
Q4 Have the vaccines been tested on cancer patients?
A4
Yes, the FDA EUA recommends that immunocompromised individuals
and other subpopulations with specific comorbidities be studied in post-
authorization observational studies.
Are there any plans to do Phase 4 studies in immunocompromised patients?
Q3.1
A3.1
Q4 When should patients with cancer get the COVID-19 vaccine?
A4
Patients
undergoing
treatment
Cancer
survivors
Cancer
patients
already had
COVID-19
Offer vaccination in
between treatments
when the patient is least
immunosuppressed
Offer vaccination as
long as no
contraindications
Wait 90 days post
infection to start the
two injection vaccine
series
Q5 What are the expected side effects of the vaccines on cancer patients
and how to manage them?
A5
Common
Side
Effects
Side Effects Important for
Cancer Patients
Serious
Side
Effects
The following side effects were more commonly reported in younger vaccine
recipients and following the second shot of the 2-dose series:
➢ Pain or swelling at the injection site
➢ Fatigue
➢ Headache
➢ Fever
➢ Chills
➢ Muscle and joint pain
Common
Side
Effects
Side effects typically resolved after one to two days. Such side effects can be
managed by the following:
➢ To take pain relievers (like ibuprofen or acetaminophen) every 4–6
hours to manage headache or fever
➢ To drink plenty of fluids
➢ To rest throughout the day
➢ To soak in a bath to soothe aching muscles
➢ To use or exercise the arm
Common
Side
Effects
➢ Anaphylaxis
It should be considered when signs or
symptoms are generalized (i.e., if there are
generalized hives or more than one body
system is involved) or are serious or life-
threatening in nature, even if they involve a
single body system (e.g., hypotension,
respiratory distress, or significant swelling of
the tongue or lips).
Serious
Side
Effects
If anaphylaxis is suspected, take the following steps:
1. Rapidly assess airway, breathing, circulation, and mentation (mental activity)
2. Call for emergency medical services (EMS)
3. Place the patient in a supine position with feet elevated, unless upper airway obstruction is present, or the
patient is vomiting.
4. Epinephrine is the first-line treatment for anaphylaxis and should be administered immediately.
• Epinephrine dose may be repeated approximately every 5-15 minutes if symptoms do not improve or if
they return while waiting for EMS. The number and timing of epinephrine doses should be recorded and
communicated to EMS.
Serious
Side
Effects
Axillary adenopathy (swollen/tender lymph nodes)
Some people have swelling or tenderness of the lymph nodes under the arm in which they got the injection. Axillary
adenopathy in women with an otherwise normal screening mammogram is a rare occurrence, reported in 0.02%-0.04% of
screening mammograms.
For patients receiving the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, lymphadenopathy was only reported as
an unsolicited adverse event with 58 more cases in the vaccine group than the placebo group (64 vs 6
respectively). Lymphadenopathy occurred in the arm and neck within 2-4 days of vaccination and
lasted for a mean of 10 days
For patients receiving the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, axillary swelling or tenderness (i.e.,
lymphadenopathy) was a solicited adverse event reported in 11.6% of patients (vs 5.0% for
placebo) following dose 1 and 16.0% of patients (vs 4.3% for placebo) following dose 2
Side Effects Important for
Cancer Patients
Caution
Since the COVID-19 vaccine can cause swollen lymph nodes under the arm in which the
injection was given, it is recommended that people with breast cancer or a history of
breast cancer get the injection in the unaffected arm.
Management
➢ Consider a short term follow up exam in 4-12 weeks following the second vaccine
dose.
➢ If axillary adenopathy persists after short term follow up, then consider lymph node
sampling to exclude breast and non-breast malignancy

o Asymptomatic → Hold B-cell depleting therapy until one month after completion of vaccination
o Small molecule therapy in symptomatic patients → hold vaccination until 1 month after completion of
treatment, once there is evidence of B-cell recovery
B- or T-ALL
(Induction/maintenance therapy)
o Induction therapy for newly diagnosed disease should not be delayed for vaccination
o Vaccine should be given during the maintenance phase at a time patient displays evidence of
hematopoietic count recovery. It can also be considered during induction with less intense regimens
DLBCL and other aggressive
B-cell lymphoma
o Systemic induction therapy, including anti-CD20 antibodies, for newly diagnosed disease should in general
not be delayed for vaccination.
o Vaccine should be given after completion of therapy, assuming patient is in remission and no further
treatment is planned, once there is evidence of B-cell recovery from anti-CD20 depletion
Indolent lymphomas o Asymptomatic → Hold B-cell depleting therapy until one month after completion of vaccination
o Systemic therapy needed →treat with induction but without maintenance therapy, and vaccinating
following completion of therapy
T cell lymphomas o Therapy for newly diagnosed and progressive disease should not be delayed for vaccination purposes.
o Vaccine can be given during induction therapy, preferably following count recovery.
Lymphoma patients with
relapsed or refractory
disease
o Systemic therapy with the potential for therapeutic benefit should not be delayed for vaccination purposes
Hematologic Malignancies
Disease Recommendation
Myeloma o With the exceptions of lymphodepleting therapy administration there are no specific disease or
treatment related contraindications for vaccination in patients with myeloma.
o Patients treated with lymphodepletion, vaccination can be attempted once lymphocyte recovery is
observed
AML
(induction/consolidation therapy)
o Induction therapy for newly diagnosed disease should not be delayed for vaccination purposes.
o Vaccine should not be given during the induction remission phase but should be considered during
consolidation therapy.
o Patients with relapsed disease may be considered for vaccination.
Myelodysplastic syndromes o Patients on observation or active therapy should be considered for vaccination
Myeloproliferative Neoplasm o Patients on observation or active therapy should be considered for vaccination
CML o Patients receiving TKIs (with or without remission) should be considered for vaccination.
Hematologic Malignancies
Solid Tumors
Time first dose of vaccine to be given ≥ 2 weeks prior to initiation of
therapy
Patients planned for but not yet on
immunosuppressive cancer directed therapy
Patients with solid tumors should receive the COVID-19 vaccine, as stratified by factors such as age. There are
no additional stratification recommendations related to cancer type or stage of disease at this time.
Patients already on cytotoxic chemotherapy
Patients completing cytotoxic therapy
Patients undergoing cancer related surgery
Time first dose of vaccine in between chemotherapy cycles, and away
from nadir period
Time first dose of vaccine to be given after therapy complete and
nadir period resolved
No specific timing is recommended relative to surgery from a vaccine
efficacy standpoint

Treatment Timing of vaccine administration
Autologous HCT Vaccination may be initiated 2- 3 months after HCT
Allogeneic HCT
Conventional, no severe GVHD, no anti-CD20
antibodies
Vaccination may be initiated as early as 3 months post HCT
Ex-vivo T-cell depleted and post HCT Vaccination may be initiated around 6 months post HCT with
confirmed presence of B cells (>50) and CD4+ T-cells (>100)
CART cell therapy and receipt of antiCD20
antibodies
Vaccination may be initiated as early as 3 months if demonstrated
IVIG independence and B-Cell count ≥50
HSCT patients with GVHD So far, there is no data suggesting immune activation of
underlying conditions making the likelihood that COVID-19
vaccines will exacerbate GVHD low
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
and cellular therapy
• Severe, uncontrolled acute GVHD grades III – IV
• Recipients, who have received anti-CD20 antibodies during the last
six months and absolute B-cell count <50
• CAR T cell patients with B-cell aplasia (absolute B-cell count <50)
• Recent therapy with Anti-thymocyte globulin or alemtuzumab
When to postpone vaccination?
Q
A
Steroids
Patients treated with corticosteroids
should be vaccinated prior to therapy,
if feasible
Patients on ICI therapy should receive
the COVID-19 vaccine. Clinicians
should not pause ICI therapy for
vaccination (No specific timing is
recommended)
Immune Checkpoint
Inhibitors (ICIs)
It is recommended that patients
should be vaccinated prior to
initiation of therapy when feasible
Rituximab
COVID-19 vaccines may be administered
as these are unlikely to substantially
impair development of protective antibody
responses.

Under an EUA, FDA may allow the use of unapproved medical products, or unapproved uses of approved medical products in an emergency to diagnose, treat, or prevent serious or life-threatening diseases or conditions when certain statutory criteria have been met, including that there are no adequate, approved, and available alternatives. Manufacturers are required to submit an EUA request to the FDA for review

  • 34. Answers to The Most Common Questions About The Use of The Vaccine in Cancer Patients 04
  • 35. General Rule: Yes, vaccines are important for patients with cancer as they are at increased of serious infection. Many of these infections are vaccine preventable. All indicated vaccines should be given to adult cancer patients before initiation of chemotherapy, before therapy with other immunosuppressive drugs, and before radiation or splenectomy, when feasible. Indicated inactivated vaccines should be given ≥2 weeks prior to chemotherapy and indicated live-virus vaccines should be given ≥4 weeks prior to chemotherapy. Q1 Shall cancer patients receive any vaccine? A1
  • 36. Patients with cancer currently receiving chemotherapy or other immunosuppressive therapy should not receive live-virus vaccines because of the risk of vaccine-derived infections. Patients with cancer currently receiving chemotherapy or other immunosuppressive therapy should not receive inactivated vaccines because they may not be effective Q1 Shall cancer patients receive any vaccine? A1
  • 37.
  • 38. Yes, if they have no contraindications. CDC: Immunocompromised individuals can receive COVID-19 vaccination if they have no contraindications to vaccination. However, they should be counselled about the unknown vaccine safety profile and effectiveness in immunocompromised populations, and the potential for reduced immune responses and the need to continue to follow all current guidance to protect themselves against COVID-19. The JCVI: The committee’s advice is to offer vaccination to those aged 65 years and older followed by those in clinical risk groups aged 16 years and older including cancer patients. Q2 Are cancer patients eligible to receive COVID-19 vaccine? A2
  • 39. Contraindication to COVID-19 Vaccine CDC considers a history of the following to be a contraindication to vaccination with both the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines: Severe allergic reaction (e.g., anaphylaxis) after a previous dose of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine or any of its components Immediate allergic reaction of any severity to a previous dose of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine or any of its components (including polyethylene glycol [PEG]) Immediate allergic reaction of any severity to polysorbate (due to potential cross-reactive hypersensitivity with the vaccine ingredient PEG)
  • 40. Yes, persons with immunocompromising conditions or who take immunosuppressive medications or therapies might be at increased risk for severe COVID-19. Thus, they should be prioritized to take the COVID-19 vaccine including those who are in remission. The available evidence supports that patients with cancer, in particular with hematologic malignancies, should be considered among the very high-risk groups for priority COVID-19 vaccination. Q3 Do cancer patients need to be vaccinated? A3
  • 41.
  • 42. Not yet, despite several vaccine candidates being in phase 2/3 clinical trials, no current clinical trial of a COVID-19 vaccine has enrolled immunocompromised patients. Thus, the efficacy and safety of a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine has not been established in the different immunocompromised patient populations. Q4 Have the vaccines been tested on cancer patients? A4
  • 43.
  • 44.
  • 45. Yes, the FDA EUA recommends that immunocompromised individuals and other subpopulations with specific comorbidities be studied in post- authorization observational studies. Are there any plans to do Phase 4 studies in immunocompromised patients? Q3.1 A3.1
  • 46. Q4 When should patients with cancer get the COVID-19 vaccine? A4 Patients undergoing treatment Cancer survivors Cancer patients already had COVID-19 Offer vaccination in between treatments when the patient is least immunosuppressed Offer vaccination as long as no contraindications Wait 90 days post infection to start the two injection vaccine series
  • 47. Q5 What are the expected side effects of the vaccines on cancer patients and how to manage them? A5 Common Side Effects Side Effects Important for Cancer Patients Serious Side Effects
  • 48. The following side effects were more commonly reported in younger vaccine recipients and following the second shot of the 2-dose series: ➢ Pain or swelling at the injection site ➢ Fatigue ➢ Headache ➢ Fever ➢ Chills ➢ Muscle and joint pain Common Side Effects
  • 49. Side effects typically resolved after one to two days. Such side effects can be managed by the following: ➢ To take pain relievers (like ibuprofen or acetaminophen) every 4–6 hours to manage headache or fever ➢ To drink plenty of fluids ➢ To rest throughout the day ➢ To soak in a bath to soothe aching muscles ➢ To use or exercise the arm Common Side Effects
  • 50. ➢ Anaphylaxis It should be considered when signs or symptoms are generalized (i.e., if there are generalized hives or more than one body system is involved) or are serious or life- threatening in nature, even if they involve a single body system (e.g., hypotension, respiratory distress, or significant swelling of the tongue or lips). Serious Side Effects
  • 51. If anaphylaxis is suspected, take the following steps: 1. Rapidly assess airway, breathing, circulation, and mentation (mental activity) 2. Call for emergency medical services (EMS) 3. Place the patient in a supine position with feet elevated, unless upper airway obstruction is present, or the patient is vomiting. 4. Epinephrine is the first-line treatment for anaphylaxis and should be administered immediately. • Epinephrine dose may be repeated approximately every 5-15 minutes if symptoms do not improve or if they return while waiting for EMS. The number and timing of epinephrine doses should be recorded and communicated to EMS. Serious Side Effects
  • 52. Axillary adenopathy (swollen/tender lymph nodes) Some people have swelling or tenderness of the lymph nodes under the arm in which they got the injection. Axillary adenopathy in women with an otherwise normal screening mammogram is a rare occurrence, reported in 0.02%-0.04% of screening mammograms. For patients receiving the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, lymphadenopathy was only reported as an unsolicited adverse event with 58 more cases in the vaccine group than the placebo group (64 vs 6 respectively). Lymphadenopathy occurred in the arm and neck within 2-4 days of vaccination and lasted for a mean of 10 days For patients receiving the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, axillary swelling or tenderness (i.e., lymphadenopathy) was a solicited adverse event reported in 11.6% of patients (vs 5.0% for placebo) following dose 1 and 16.0% of patients (vs 4.3% for placebo) following dose 2 Side Effects Important for Cancer Patients
  • 53. Caution Since the COVID-19 vaccine can cause swollen lymph nodes under the arm in which the injection was given, it is recommended that people with breast cancer or a history of breast cancer get the injection in the unaffected arm. Management ➢ Consider a short term follow up exam in 4-12 weeks following the second vaccine dose. ➢ If axillary adenopathy persists after short term follow up, then consider lymph node sampling to exclude breast and non-breast malignancy Side Effects Important for Cancer Patients

  • 59. Disease Recommendation CLL (special consideration of rituximab, venetoclax, ibrutinib) o Asymptomatic → Hold B-cell depleting therapy until one month after completion of vaccination o Small molecule therapy in symptomatic patients → hold vaccination until 1 month after completion of treatment, once there is evidence of B-cell recovery B- or T-ALL (Induction/maintenance therapy) o Induction therapy for newly diagnosed disease should not be delayed for vaccination o Vaccine should be given during the maintenance phase at a time patient displays evidence of hematopoietic count recovery. It can also be considered during induction with less intense regimens DLBCL and other aggressive B-cell lymphoma o Systemic induction therapy, including anti-CD20 antibodies, for newly diagnosed disease should in general not be delayed for vaccination. o Vaccine should be given after completion of therapy, assuming patient is in remission and no further treatment is planned, once there is evidence of B-cell recovery from anti-CD20 depletion Indolent lymphomas o Asymptomatic → Hold B-cell depleting therapy until one month after completion of vaccination o Systemic therapy needed →treat with induction but without maintenance therapy, and vaccinating following completion of therapy T cell lymphomas o Therapy for newly diagnosed and progressive disease should not be delayed for vaccination purposes. o Vaccine can be given during induction therapy, preferably following count recovery. Lymphoma patients with relapsed or refractory disease o Systemic therapy with the potential for therapeutic benefit should not be delayed for vaccination purposes Hematologic Malignancies
  • 60. Disease Recommendation Myeloma o With the exceptions of lymphodepleting therapy administration there are no specific disease or treatment related contraindications for vaccination in patients with myeloma. o Patients treated with lymphodepletion, vaccination can be attempted once lymphocyte recovery is observed AML (induction/consolidation therapy) o Induction therapy for newly diagnosed disease should not be delayed for vaccination purposes. o Vaccine should not be given during the induction remission phase but should be considered during consolidation therapy. o Patients with relapsed disease may be considered for vaccination. Myelodysplastic syndromes o Patients on observation or active therapy should be considered for vaccination Myeloproliferative Neoplasm o Patients on observation or active therapy should be considered for vaccination CML o Patients receiving TKIs (with or without remission) should be considered for vaccination. Hematologic Malignancies
  • 61. Solid Tumors Time first dose of vaccine to be given ≥ 2 weeks prior to initiation of therapy Patients planned for but not yet on immunosuppressive cancer directed therapy Patients with solid tumors should receive the COVID-19 vaccine, as stratified by factors such as age. There are no additional stratification recommendations related to cancer type or stage of disease at this time. Patients already on cytotoxic chemotherapy Patients completing cytotoxic therapy Patients undergoing cancer related surgery Time first dose of vaccine in between chemotherapy cycles, and away from nadir period Time first dose of vaccine to be given after therapy complete and nadir period resolved No specific timing is recommended relative to surgery from a vaccine efficacy standpoint
  • 63. Treatment Timing of vaccine administration Autologous HCT Vaccination may be initiated 2- 3 months after HCT Allogeneic HCT Conventional, no severe GVHD, no anti-CD20 antibodies Vaccination may be initiated as early as 3 months post HCT Ex-vivo T-cell depleted and post HCT Vaccination may be initiated around 6 months post HCT with confirmed presence of B cells (>50) and CD4+ T-cells (>100) CART cell therapy and receipt of antiCD20 antibodies Vaccination may be initiated as early as 3 months if demonstrated IVIG independence and B-Cell count ≥50 HSCT patients with GVHD So far, there is no data suggesting immune activation of underlying conditions making the likelihood that COVID-19 vaccines will exacerbate GVHD low Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and cellular therapy
  • 64. • Severe, uncontrolled acute GVHD grades III – IV • Recipients, who have received anti-CD20 antibodies during the last six months and absolute B-cell count <50 • CAR T cell patients with B-cell aplasia (absolute B-cell count <50) • Recent therapy with Anti-thymocyte globulin or alemtuzumab When to postpone vaccination? Q A
  • 65. Steroids Patients treated with corticosteroids should be vaccinated prior to therapy, if feasible Patients on ICI therapy should receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Clinicians should not pause ICI therapy for vaccination (No specific timing is recommended) Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors (ICIs) It is recommended that patients should be vaccinated prior to initiation of therapy when feasible Rituximab COVID-19 vaccines may be administered as these are unlikely to substantially impair development of protective antibody responses.
