Summary

The goals of this study are to better understand the human immune response to influenza vaccines, specifically the live attenuated (weakened) influenza vaccine given as a nasal spray. Better understanding why this vaccine does not work as well in adults as it does in children may help design better influenza vaccines.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals who want to help researchers understand the immune response to flu vaccines, particularly the nasal spray vaccine that's weaker and works differently in adults compared to children. Specific eligibility criteria are not provided.
What is being tested?
The study focuses on the live attenuated influenza vaccine given as a nasal spray. It aims to reveal why this flu vaccine's effectiveness varies between adults and children by studying participants' immune responses.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed, typical reactions to live attenuated vaccines can include cold-like symptoms, mild body aches, and sneezing shortly after administration.
