This study tests how the immune system in your nose and airways responds to the FluMist nasal spray flu vaccine. It may help doctors understand why some people get better protection from the flu.
This study follows up on people who were in a prior trial of an oral supplement (TUDCA) or a placebo. It will check how well the flu vaccine worked for them over time.
This trial tests whether a flu vaccine with an extra ingredient (called an adjuvant) is safer and works better for older Asian adults with chronic health conditions than a standard flu vaccine. It aims to provide better protection against the flu for people like you.
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 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 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.
