Abstract
In an attempt to protect the high-risk demographic and reduce burden on health care systems, concomitant administration of COVID-19 and influenza vaccines has been recommended by health bodies. The ComFluCOV trial indicates this is well tolerated with no reduction in immune response to either vaccine. A 48-year-old woman with right oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma underwent postradiotherapy FDG PET/CT, which demonstrated complete metabolic response. Incidental avid bilateral axillary lymphadenopathy of benign configuration was noted and concluded to be reactive in response to recent Pfizer-BioNTech booster and influenza vaccination. This is expected to be seen more frequently over the coming months.
