Overview
Now Enrolling: Flu Vaccine Research Study
Our seasonal flu research study is evaluating a next-generation investigational vaccine for adults 65 and older. All study-related care and the vaccine are provided at no cost, and compensation for your time and travel may be available.
About the Study
Traditional flu shots are updated every year, but scientists are now testing an entirely new approach to vaccine technology. A clinical trial is comparing a next-generation investigational flu vaccine directly against a standard, currently available flu shot.
If you are 65 or older and in stable health, you can help researchers evaluate this potential new alternative. All study-related care is provided at no cost, and compensation for your time and travel may be available.
Why Join This Study?
We’re looking for better investigational vaccine options for the flu, but we can’t do it alone. Help make a difference in someone’s life by participating in our flu vaccine research study.
By joining our study, you may become a vital partner in medical progress. You’ll receive study-related vaccine care and health monitoring at no cost, while helping shape the future of next-generation seasonal flu protection for older adults.
Who Can Join
You may be able to participate in the flu vaccine research study if you:Â
- Are 65 years old or older
- Are in stable health (participants with pre-existing but well-controlled chronic medical conditions are typically eligible).
You may not be eligible if you:
- Have already received a flu vaccine within the past 6 months
- Have tested positive for the flu in the past 6 months
- Have a significantly compromised immune system due to a medical condition (e.g., active cancer or immunodeficiency) or are receiving immunosuppressive therapies (e.g., high-dose systemic corticosteroids, biological therapies, or chemotherapy).
- Have a known history of severe allergic reactions to any component of mRNA vaccines or standard influenza vaccines.
*Additional inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply
