Flu season isn't over yet, & it's important for kids & adults to get vaccinated. “With COVID-19, we got used to the idea that the very old are the only people who are at risk for getting seriously ill," UCSF's Dr. Peter Chin-Hong says. But with flu, "it's... also the very young.”

Interesting results presented by Elizabeth Krantz from @joshhillmd.bsky.social team @fredhutch.bsky.social @astct.bsky.social Tandem2025. Overall antibody levels are low in CAR T recipients. Re-vaccination is important. The Boonya lab collaborated on the B cell analysis.

Highlights from Justine Ross’ presentation from @cityofhope.bsky.social on RSV infections at Tandem2025 @astct.bsky.social 1) most respiratory viral infections occur during months 1-3 post-CAR T-cell therapy; 2) we need studies on RSV mAbs and vaccines in transplant and cell therapy recipients
