Article Synopsis
- This study, INVIDIa-2, looked at how effective flu vaccination is for advanced-cancer patients on immune-checkpoint inhibitors in Italy, specifically during the early COVID-19 pandemic.
- From January to April 2020, out of 955 eligible cancer patients, only 9 confirmed cases of COVID-19 were found, leading to high hospitalization and mortality rates.
- The analysis indicated that although vaccinated patients had slightly lower overall COVID-19 prevalence than the unvaccinated, the difference was not statistically significant, highlighting the significant impact of COVID-19 on this vulnerable population.
