Summary
The goal of this study is to assess the immunogenicity of inactivated influenza vaccination (IIV) in healthy elderly volunteers aged 50 years and older receiving one of two different health management trainings.
Detailed description
We will obtain preliminary data on the time it takes to achieve a protective immune response, durability of response and occurrence of influenza in the following influenza season. Promising results in this age group will provide preliminary data for expanded future studies in the elderly.
