Abstract:
Ehmsen et al. evaluate the neutralizing capacity to current SARS-CoV-2 variants in patients with cancer before and after receiving the BNT162b2 bivalent mRNA vaccine booster. Bivalent vaccine provides some protection against BQ.1.1 but fails to protect against XBB.1 and XBB.1.5 in patients with cancer.
