Filter by:Influenza (the flu) is a common illness that usually occurs in autumn and winter. The flu is usually mild, but can cause serious illness or death. The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of an antibody against the flu (called intravenous hyperimmune immunoglobulin or IVIG) in people who are hospitalized for severe flu.
The goal of this study is to establish that Flublok Quadrivalent is non-inferior to fully licensed (traditional approval status) quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV4) in protecting against laboratory-confirmed clinical influenza disease in the ≥50 year age population.
Influenza infection leads to on average 3000-49,0000 deaths and 150,000 hospitalizations annually. While vaccination is the cornerstone of preventing influenza infection, vaccination coverage in adults is low. Latino adults have the lowest coverage rates. Text message reminders have been used successfully for improving influenza vaccination for children. This study will assess the use of text messaging to improve influenza vaccination coverage rates in a largely minority, publicly insured adult population. We will also assess if the patient having received a text message makes the patient more likely to accept vaccination when their provider has received in electronic alert regarding need for influenza vaccination in the electronic health record.
H7N9 viruses have caused an outbreak of severe respiratory disease in 2013-2014 in China that affected many older adults. This study will evaluate the safety of and immune response to a live attenuated H7N9 vaccine in adults 50 to 70 years old.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of Northern hemisphere 2013-2014 seasonal trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine in 60 healthy infants aged 6-35 months old, 60 healthy adults aged 18-60 years old, and 60 healthy seniors aged > 60 years.
Influenza is an acute respiratory disease caused by influenza viruses. There are three types of the virus including A, B and C. Both type A and type B viruses can cause acute febrile respiratory tract infection, characterized by sudden fever, headache, muscle pain, cough, sore throat, nasal congestion and general malaise. Influenza can periodically cause worldwide pandemic. For nearly a century, the influenza virus had occurred four large variation, causing three world pandemic. Studies have shown that since 1957, most of those new variants of influenza virus started in China, which is recognized by the world to have high incidence of influenza. At present, trivalent influenza vaccines are widely used in China. They only contain two kinds of type A virus antigens and one type B virus antigen. But since 2000, two kinds of type B strains (Victoria and Yamagata) have caused an alternating cycle in different seasons. Gradually, evolved from the original single lineage of influenza B virus B/Yamagata, two distinct antigenic lineages-B/Victoria and B/Yamagata have alternately dominated or caused a mix of popular lineage. These two lineages have little or nearly no cross-protection. Therefore, trivalent influenza vaccines may not cover the popular strains of influenza B virus, whereas quadrivalent influenza vaccines will help to simultaneously prevent two kinds of type A viruses and two kinds of type B virus.
A Pilot Study utilizing high dose trivalent influenza vaccine dose in a booster dosing schedule for patients with monoclonal gammopathies stratified by disease status
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of IL-YANG Inactivated Split Influenza Vaccine (IL-YANG FLU Vaccine Prefilled Syringe INJ.) administered as a single intramuscular injection.
The objective of this pilot study is to assess the immunogenicity and reactogenicity of Fluzone High Dose with Fluzone (standard adult dose) influenza vaccines in healthcare workers.
This study will recruit 35 healthcare workers who had systemic reactions to influenza vaccine the last 2 times they were vaccinated, to ask whether influenza vaccine is indeed associated with systemic reactions in these workers.
