Overview

Brief Summary

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of concurrent administration of influenza vaccine in patients receiving anti-PD1 immunotherapy (nivolumab or pembrolizumab). This will be a prospective observational study, aiming to assess patient tolerance of treatment, adverse events (incidence, grade, need for hospitalization), incidence of influenza infections, and seroconversion rates.
