Do timing of flu shot affect protection in kidney failure?
Part of Infections, Kidney & urinary, Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether getting a flu shot at a different time of day affects how well it works in people with chronic kidney failure, including those on dialysis or with a kidney transplant. Researchers want to see if timing can improve the body's immune response to the vaccine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have advanced chronic kidney disease (stage 4 or 5), or you are on dialysis, or you have a kidney transplant.

This study looks at how well the flu vaccine works in people with kidney failure who are on dialysis compared to healthy people. It will help doctors understand how kidney problems affect the body’s immune response to vaccination.
This trial compares a higher-dose flu vaccine to the standard dose in children who recently received a kidney, heart, and/or liver transplant. It aims to see which dose better protects children against influenza while checking for safety.
This study tests whether a special flu vaccine, designed for a future pandemic, works safely in people who have had an organ transplant. It aims to find a better way to protect transplant patients from severe flu.
This trial tests whether a higher dose of flu vaccine works better than the standard dose for people who have had a lung transplant. It may help improve protection against seasonal flu while monitoring safety.
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 tests whether taking oral supplements can improve how well your body responds to the flu vaccine. It may help older adults get better protection from the flu shot.
