Summary

This study looks at whether the bacteria in your gut and what you eat can change how well your body responds to the flu vaccine. Researchers will collect stool samples, blood samples, and diet information from 74 MD Anderson employees. The goal is to understand, not to treat—so no new medicine or vaccine is being tested.
