SIOP - St Jude Global COVID-19 Resource Center
The Global COVID-19 Observatory and Resource Center for Childhood Cancer is for health care professionals focused on pediatric cancer. The resource provides a way for providers to collaborate, connect and find the latest information on COVID-19 as it relates to childhood cancer.
Health care professionals can access a collection of current resources and a pediatric cancer registry with real-time results.
If you are a patient or family member of someone with childhood cancer, you can find COVID-19-related resources on Together.

COVID-19 Resources Submission Form
It is becoming clear that children and adolescents living with cancer and older people are particularly vulnerable to COVID-19, and that health systems in rich and poor countries alike are ill-equipped to respond.
In light of the above, we would be interested in learning how our members are rising to challenges posed by the pandemic. Please don’t hesitate to use this form to share any relevant information, insight and resources with us which we can post under our resource collection above.
SIOP reserves the right to select resources and cannot guarantee the inclusion of a resource shared. While we will endeavour to keep the list up to date, we rely on you to let us know any updates to the resources using this form.
