THE Cancer Association of South Africa (Cansa) is hosting a webinar session on Zoom tomorrow (Tuesday) at noon, about cancer patients and the Covid-19 vaccine.

The session is open to everyone affected by cancer, including newly-diagnosed people beginning their cancer treatment journey, cancer survivors and those who are in remission.

Cancer patients and survivors have vulnerable immune systems and need to be protected.

The panel of presenters include two oncology experts sharing current recommendations and information, Dr Zainab Mohamed, Head: Clinical Unit, Radiation Oncology Groote Schuur Hospital / University of Cape Town and Dr Ria David, a medical oncologist and specialist physician from Oncocare.

The webinar will be facilitated by Dr Brenda Kubheka from Health IQ Consulting.

Also joining the panel is Dr Vicki Pinkney-Atkinson, Director of the South African Non-Communicable Diseases Alliance (SANCDA), a strong advocate for people living with non-communicable diseases.
