What this means for you:** If your immune system is severely weakened (from conditions like cancer treatment, organ transplants, or certain medications), you should get an extra COVID-19 vaccine dose beyond the standard two doses to help protect you better.
✓
What you should do:** Talk to your doctor or the healthcare team managing your condition to find out if you fall into this group and when to schedule your third dose—don't wait for an invitation, as this group needs personalized timing.
