Summary

This trial is testing the hypothesis that the T-bet expressing fraction of flu-specific B cells after receiving the live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) serves as an early biomarker of long-lived antibody responses after vaccination.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for healthy individuals who haven't had a flu vaccine in the past year and have no history of reactive airway disease or allergies to live or inactivated flu vaccines. They should not have an immunocompromising condition like cancer, autoimmune diseases, organ transplants, or be on steroids.
What is being tested?
The study tests if T-bet expressing B cells after receiving the Live Attenuated Flu Vaccine (LAIV) can predict long-lasting antibody responses. Participants will first receive LAIV and then the intramuscular flu vaccine to assess immune protection from both vaccinations.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed for this trial, common reactions to LAIV may include nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat, and possibly fever.
