First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether the seasonal flu vaccine works as well in people with sarcoidosis as it does in healthy people. Researchers gave the flu shot to 190 adults with sarcoidosis and compared their immune response to a group of healthy volunteers. The goal was to see if the vaccine is effective and safe in this patient group, especially for those on steroids or immunosuppressants.

seasonal influenza vaccine
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could show that the flu vaccine is effective and safe for people with sarcoidosis, supporting current vaccination recommendations.
