Study summary

In this study the investigators are trying to understand how immune function declines in the elderly using annual influenza vaccinations as a model system. The longitudinal study began in 2007 and continued through early 2017.

Read the detailed description

Participants ranging in age from 18 to 100 at time of initial enrollment will be immunized annually with the seasonal influenza vaccine, Fluzone, on Day 0. Follow-up visits will be conducted on Day 6-8 and Day 28. Unsolicited adverse events are collected from immunization until the Day 28 visit, serious adverse events are collected for the entire time of study participation. A blood sample is collected pre-immunization and at each follow-up visit. Volunteers will be followed for up to 11 years, those too frail to come in for visits received annual phone calls to monitor health. Last annual influenza vaccines were given in Fall 2015.

The main basic research effort will be to collect safety data and follow medical history events in elderly and younger control subjects. Investigators will also look at immune responses to influenza vaccination. In 2008, 2012 and 2014, the cohort added additional participants to replace those who had withdrawn.

Beginning in 2014, those participants 65 years and older were immunized with High Dose trivalent Fluzone and younger participants received the quadrivalent formulation of Fluzone.

  • Willing and able to sign Informed Consent
  • Available for follow-up for the planned duration of the study

  • Autoimmune disease (including rheumatoid arthritis treated with immunosuppressive medication such as Plaquenil, methotrexate, prednisone, Enbrel) which, in the opinion of the investigator, might jeopardize volunteer safety or compliance with the protocol.
  • History of blood dyscrasias or hemoglobinopathies requiring regular medical follow up or hospitalization during the preceding year
  • Use of anti-coagulation medication such as Coumadin or Lovenox, or anti-platelet agents such as aspirin, Plavix, Aggrenox must be reviewed by investigator to determine if this would affect the volunteer's safety.
  • Receipt of blood or blood products within the past 6 months
  • Medical or psychiatric condition or occupational responsibilities that preclude subject compliance with the protocol
  • Receipt of inactivated vaccine within 14 days prior to vaccination
  • Receipt of live, attenuated vaccine within 60 days of vaccination
  • History of Guillain-Barré Syndrome
  • Pregnant or lactating woman
  • Use of investigational agents within 30 days prior to enrollment
  • Donation of the equivalent of a unit of blood within 6 weeks prior to enrollment
  • Any condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, might interfere with volunteer safety, study objectives or the ability of the participant to understand or comply with the study protocol.

Individual participant data

Plan to share: Yes — The NIH Human Immunology Project Consortium (HIPC) data repositories (ImmPORT) may store the results of the research assays results. Genetic data that is developed in this study may be made available to other researchers through the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) databases. Results from research assays will be labeled with a unique ID code and the volunteer identity (except for age) will not be disclosed.
