This study gives you a flu vaccine and measures how your immune system reacts, including both “blood immunity” and “cell immunity.” It’s for healthy adults and mainly aims to better understand how well flu vaccines work in people without major health issues.
This trial tests how the body reacts to a specific flu virus (pH1N1) in a controlled setting. Healthy volunteers are exposed to the virus to help researchers understand the infection and test treatments. You will be monitored closely and given antiviral medication if needed.
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.
This study looks at how your lungs and lymph nodes respond to flu infection and the nasal flu vaccine. It will help researchers understand how to create better protection against the flu.
This study looks at how your immune system (your body’s infection-fighting system) responds during and around the time of a flu illness. It’s meant to help researchers better understand immune changes in healthy adults and may guide future flu care.
This study looks at how your immune system responds to COVID-19 or the flu. It may help researchers understand these infections better, whether you are currently sick or healthy.
