Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether low dose flu vaccines delivered with microneedles into the skin (intradermally) are effective.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Influenza vaccination is the primary method for preventing influenza and its severe complications. Previous clinical studies demonstrated that delivery of vaccines intradermally (into the skin) can achieve good efficacy even with lower doses of the vaccine.

Comparison: Low dose flu vaccine delivered intradermally with a microneedle device compared to the standard dose flu vaccine delivered intramuscularly (into the muscle) with a regular needle.
