Currently, in cancer or lung-cancer patients, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), such as anti-CTLA-4, anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), anti-programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) antibodies, etc. are widely prescribed as single agent or in combination with other anticancer-   treatment modalities [1]. Due to immune-associated adverse events (iaAEs), these ICIs can facilitate antitumor effects, such as interstitial pneumonitis, endocrine-gland-disorders-associated abnormal hormone secretion [2] that can be caused and aggravated by mRNA-based-COVID-19 vaccines (Figure 1) [1,3].
