Christine Lee has been battling cancer and lupus while working from home during the pandemic. She's shared her ups and downs during this past year, including hair loss from chemo treatments and lupus flares. Christine says being immunocompromised while Covid rages is scary as hell and when the vaccines came along, she got immunized as soon as she could.

However, she's part of the 2% of the population who deal with the fact that their vaccination offers little to no protection due to the cancer treatment (Rituxan) she's receiving. So when the booster vaccine was approved, Christine got hers right away. Listen to her tell the emotional story of how much it meant to get the booster, while encouraging others to get vaccinated.
