Seasonal Influenza Vaccine High Dose Boosting in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients

Name
NA-Influenza
Description
In solid organ transplant (SOT) the receipt of influenza vaccine in an influenza season is associated with decreased disease severity as demonstrated by the presence of pneumonia and ICU admissions. Different strategies have been assessed to optimize vaccine efficacy and immunogenicity of the influenza vaccine in the solid organ transplant recipient (SOTR). The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the immunogenicity of 2 doses of the high dose influenza vaccine utilizing neutralizing antibody assays. A control group receiving 1 HD influenza vaccine will be included.
