Summary

This study aims to understand how well the seasonal flu vaccine works in children with blood cancers like leukemia. Researchers will measure the immune response in up to 150 children at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The goal is to see if the vaccine triggers enough protection and how long that protection lasts. This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, and will help guide future vaccination strategies for these vulnerable patients.
