Summary

"This trial aims to find the best way to boost the immune response in people with weakened immune systems. They want to see if getting the COVID-19 booster shot along with the flu vaccine at the same

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people with conditions like HIV, lupus, or rheumatoid arthritis that weaken their immune system. It's also for those who've had an organ transplant. Participants should be due for a COVID-19 booster and flu shot but can't join if they have certain health issues that aren't listed here.
What is being tested?
The study tests how well the body responds to different schedules of COVID-19 boosters and flu shots in immunocompromised individuals. It checks if giving both vaccines together works as well as spacing them out, and whether getting COVID-19 boosters every 3 months is better than every 6 months.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include typical reactions to vaccines such as soreness at the injection site, fever, fatigue, headache, muscle pain. The study will monitor any other adverse effects on participants' health.
