Higher Testosterone levels cause no or little response to flu vaccine?

I was just reading an article. It seems there is an article every other day on nbcnews about Testosterone.

I hope this is not true. Maybe I should ask for an extra shot of the flu vac while taking T.

And another one released in December found that men with higher levels of the male hormone are more likely to have weak or no response to a flu vaccine, meaning that their bodies don’t mount a strong defense

This was in the new article below. Still seems they want to go back to that same study with the older guys with heart conditions.
