Join us for this follow up session with Dr. Steven Pergam, Director of Infection Prevention at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, and Dr. Alpana Waghmare, Assistant Professor of Vaccine and Infectious Disease Division at Fred Hutch, to address your questions about vaccinations for COVID-19 and what you need to know as a young cancer patient or survivor.

This session will give practical tools and strategies for managing stress and avoiding burnout for caregivers.
