Scientists probe if flu shot protects vulnerable kids with cancer

NCT ID NCT05384288

Summary

This study aims to understand how well the seasonal flu vaccine protects children being treated for blood cancers like leukemia. Researchers will follow 150 young patients for a year, taking small blood samples to measure their immune response after vaccination. The goal is to see if these vulnerable children develop strong and lasting protection against the flu, which can be very serious for them.
