So, I have gotten conflicting advice on getting flu shots and having Melanoma. Some have said "don't worry about it" and then some have said "don't do it because it might compromise your immune system"
Has anyone gotten any advice on this topic or seen any research?
I'm only asking because I was planning on volunteering at my hospital's infusion center and the hospital requires flu shots for all volunteers.

I had a flu shot while Stage 3 and while doing Interferon treatment and my medical oncologist didn't express any reservations about me having it.

My oncologist made me get a flu shot before I started Ipi.
