The impact of obesity on influenza Vaccine immunogenicity - A systematic reviewInfluenza vaccines are important for reducing the burden of influenza, particularly for populations at risk of more severe infections.

Obesity is also associated with an altered inflammatory profile, which may influence vaccine responses. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the evidence for any association between obesity and influenza vaccine immunogenicity.
