Studying immune responses to seasonal flu shots in health workers
Treatments studied
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how your immune system (your body’s infection-fighting system) responds after you get the seasonal flu vaccine. It may help researchers understand what the vaccine triggers in people working in healthcare and labs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You work in healthcare or a laboratory at HUS (Helsinki area hospital system)
- You have already decided to get the seasonal flu vaccine through your workplace’s routine program
- You can and are willing to join during the upcoming flu season and provide written consent
- You do not have a condition that weakens or changes the immune system (for example, HIV)
- You have not used immune-suppressing or immune-changing medicines for the past 6 months (certain steroid types are exceptions)

This trial studies how well your immune system responds to a vaccine in people who are younger adults or, especially, older adults and those with frailty. Your participation may help researchers understand why vaccine responses can differ with age.
This study looks at how your immune system fights off flu or COVID-19. If you have a current or recent infection, or if you've been vaccinated in the past year, you may be able to join.
This trial tests an experimental mRNA flu vaccine in healthy adults ages 18 to 59. Researchers want to see if it is safe and helps the body build protection against the flu.
