Aditec Flu 2 Study: Understanding the genetic basis for immune responses to flu vaccines in children and adults

Phase 1
Conditions
This trial is investigating healthy children and adult's gene expression and immune response to the Fluad (MF59)-adjuvanted trivalent influenza vaccine and also comparing these to the local and general reactions following vaccine administration. Healthy children will be immunised with 2 doses, adult with 1 dose.
