Evaluating Immune Response to Seasonal FluMist in Healthy Adults

NCT01673425

NaSingle-groupOpen-labelBasic science

Summary

The Live-Attenuated Influenza Vaccine (LAIV), also known as FluMist, has been shown to be effective in children but less effective in adults. Our hypothesis is that this relative failure is due to adults having enough anti-flu IgA antibody in nasal secretions to neutralize the weakened vaccine virus.
