Nasal flu vaccine study during tonsil surgery
This study looks at how the nasal flu vaccine affects your immune system by testing samples from tonsils removed during surgery. It may help improve future flu vaccines.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having surgery to remove both your tonsils and adenoids, as part of your regular care for sleep apnea.
- You do not have chronic tonsillitis (repeated or long-lasting tonsil infections).
- You do not have an immune deficiency (weakened immune system).
- You have not already received this year's flu shot.

This study uses tonsil tissue that is removed during a routine tonsillectomy to grow tiny 'organoids' in the lab. Researchers will study how germs interact with human cells, which could lead to better treatments for infections.
This trial studies how healthy adults respond to the nasal flu vaccine (FluMist). It aims to understand immune responses and may help improve future flu vaccines.
This study measures how your child's body builds immunity after receiving a nasal spray flu vaccine. Researchers will collect samples to understand how the vaccine triggers the immune system to protect against influenza.
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 trial tests a flu vaccine given as a nasal spray instead of a shot. It aims to see how well it protects adults aged 18 to 59 from getting 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.
