Sounds like a crappy doctor. Chemo patients and those undergoing certain immunotherapy for cancer should not get the vax.
How is she allowing her unvaxxed chemo patients in her office?
Does she refuse to treat smokers, obese, those with diabetes and hypertension?

Should cancer patients and survivors get the vaccine?
Many expert medical groups recommend that most people with cancer or a history of cancer get the COVID-19 vaccine once it’s available to them.
The main concern about getting the vaccine is not whether it’s safe for people with cancer, but about how effective it will be, especially in people with weakened immune systems. Some cancer treatments like chemotherapy (chemo), radiation, stem cell or bone marrow transplant, or immunotherapy can affect the immune system, which might make the vaccine less effective. People with certain types of cancers, like leukemias or lymphomas, can also have weakened immune systems which might make the vaccine less effective. ...
Despite this, experts still recommend that most cancer patients get the vaccine because those with a fragile immune system are at risk for severe COVID-19 disease, so getting even some protection from the vaccine is better than not having any protection.
Should cancer patients get the COVID-19 vaccine?
A: It depends on what type of cancer treatment you are receiving, which is why we strongly recommend talking with your oncologist. But, in general, these are our recommendations for patients undergoing:
Chemotherapy – We recommend that patients who are completing their chemotherapy in the next two to three months delay getting their COVID-19 vaccination until treatment is completed. For those undergoing chemotherapy for a longer period, it might be beneficial to receive the COVID-19 vaccine in between rounds of chemotherapy. Talk to your oncologist about getting the first or second COVID-19 shot two weeks before a round of chemotherapy.
Radiation Therapy – You should be able to receive the COVID-19 vaccine at any time, but we recommend talking with your radiation oncologist first.
Bone Marrow/Stem Cell Transplant – We recommend that patients delay the COVID-19 vaccination until one to three months after transplant. We would postpone the COVID-19 vaccine for a longer period of time if you are placed on steroids and experience decreased immune function.
Immunotherapy – We recommend that you talk with your oncologist about the timing for receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.
Chronic Oral Immunosuppressive Medication – If you are not on active treatment but still take chronic oral immunosuppressive drugs, we recommend that you get the COVID-19 vaccine.
