Hi all,
I think this will possibly be of interest more to the Canadian members as our second doses of vaccines are being stretched out to 16 weeks, rather than the 3-4 weeks recommended by the vaccine manufacturers (not sure if this is being done in the U.S. as well).
CCFC has a downloadable letter available on its site which can be used to request an earlier second dose if you are on immunotherapy. My son's doctor has signed the letter requesting that he receive his second dose 21 days after his first shot.
I don't know if the vaccine clinic can override the request. My son is going for his first shot tomorrow and will take the letter with him. I'll update if he has any pushback on scheduling his second dose.
