Brief Summary

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

Every 1-2 years, the seasonal influenza vaccine composition changes to include updated viruses, yet the precise effects of updating the vaccine remain understudied. Since the vaccine formulation for each season (with a season defined as starting in July and ending the following June) expires on June 30, vaccine formulations cannot be compared head-to-head. Thus, the 2023 and 2024 vaccines have only been compared by analyzing people given the former vaccine in the fall of 2023 and people given the latter vaccine in the fall of 2024, and baseline repertoires may have greatly changed over the course of that year. To that end, the investigators will vaccinate a cohort with the 2023 influenza vaccine between May-June 2024, in order to compare responses between individuals receiving the 2023 vaccine last fall, the 2023 vaccine late in the season (this cohort), and the 2024 vaccine next fall. The investigators will further assess whether the late-season 2023 vaccine primed this cohort to respond better to the standard 2024 vaccine with standard timing (vaccine administered around September-October).

Late season influenza vaccine

Every participant receives the 2023 influenza vaccine between May-June 2024, and then the 2024 influenza vaccine in September-October 2024. Blood draws are taken at Day 0, 30, and 90 post-vaccination.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Influenza Fluzone vaccine
