The International Brain Tumour Alliance (IBTA) is inviting people over the age of 18 who have been diagnosed with any type or grade of brain tumour to complete their most recent online survey.


It is gathering information on Covid-19 vaccines in relation to brain tumour patients including how the coronavirus vaccination programmes in different countries have been offered; Covid-19 testing; which vaccines brain tumour patients have received; and vaccine side effects.

Data is collected anonymously and the survey typically takes no more than 15 minutes to complete. The deadline for submitting responses is 31st August 2021.
