Participant Flow

A total of 315 active-duty US Military Service Members due to receive injectable influenza vaccine (IIV) were recruited via flyers or verbal briefing from the Fort Bragg, North Carolina 82'nd Airborne Soldier Readiness Center and Walter Reed National Military Medical Center between 9/19/2016 and 11/6/2018.

Of these 315 subjects, 15 were excluded due to the following reasons: 4 did not meet inclusion criteria, 2 declined to participate, and 9 are identified as other reasons. 300 were randomized to 1 of 3 arms. However, only 233 of the 300 returned for follow-up visits. Thus results are based on data from those 233 participants with completed data.

Measure
Ibuprofen
Randomized and double blinded study participants assigned to Group A intervention will receive an oral NSAID of ibuprofen 800 mgs three times a day for 48 hours. Ibuprofen: The participants will take their first dose of the study drug immediately after influenza vaccine receipt. The medication will be blinded and dispensed by a research pharmacist. The participants will receive instructions on the dosing, frequency and a recommendation to take with food or milk and will be provided a snack with their first dose.
Placebo
Randomized and double blinded study participants assigned to Group B intervention will receive an oral placebo three times a day for 48 hours starting immediately after influenza vaccine receipt. oral placebo: The participants will take their first dose of the study drug immediately after influenza vaccine receipt. The medication will be blinded and dispensed by a research pharmacist. The participants will receive instructions on the dosing, frequency and a recommendation to take with food or milk and will be provided a snack with their first dose.
Compound Exercise of Push-ups
Randomized study participants assigned to Group C will perform an exercise intervention of push-ups immediately after influenza vaccine receipt. Compound Exercise of Push-ups: The participants will perform an exercise intervention of push-ups as immediately as possible but no more than 15 minutes after influenza vaccine receipt. The number of pushups performed will be at least 80% of the participants last Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) score in one session. The number of pushups will be recorded. A baseline lactate fingerstick blood specimen will be collected with either the serology sample (if possible) or from the hand opposite the vaccine receipt arm prior to performing pushups and a second finger stick sample within 3-8 minutes, but no more than 15 minutes after vaccine receipt.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: Immediately prior to Influenza vaccine and 3-8 minutes after Influenza vaccine was administered and after push-ups were completed.

A Lactate meter was used to test the exercise group for lactate readings. Two lactate tests was performed for the exercise group at Visit 1, both pre and post Influenza vaccination. The first lactate reading was taken after the blood draw.The second lactate reading was obtained from a fingerstick from the hand opposite to the vaccination arm, ideally within 3-8 minutes after the study subject completes pushups.
