For some people, COVID-19 feels like no more than a minor cold. Unfortunately, this is not typical for everyone, especially those with chronic conditions like leukemia. If you have been diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL) after a tough bout of COVID-19, it's important to take extra precautions to protect your health. Here are some steps you can take:

- Wash your hands carefully and frequently.
- Keep up to date with appropriate vaccines, particularly flu and pneumonia vaccines.
- Talk to your doctor before getting vaccines that contain live virus particles or bacteria.
- Get vaccinated against COVID-19 and take extra precautions even after vaccination, such as wearing N95 masks indoors and in crowded environments, and maintaining social distancing.

Your healthcare provider can also advise you on an appropriate vaccination schedule and how to mitigate risks if you’re thinking about attending a crowded event, especially if you are currently in treatment.
