RECRUITING

B Cell and Antibody Response to Seasonal Influenza Vaccines in Younger and Older Adults

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

This study will examine how various FDA-approved seasonal influenza vaccine types, used in a manner consistent with their approved use, impact the characteristics of influenza specific antibodies in humans, and how these responses differ based on age and prior immunization history.

  14. 3. Evidence of Inflammation: Systemic Lupus Erythematosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Polymyositis, Dermatomyositis, Scleroderma, Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis.
  15. 4. Lymphoproliferative Disorder
  16. 5. Known Immunodeficiency
  17. 6. Myocardial Infarction \<6 months
  18. 7. Cerebral Vascular Accident
  19. 8. Peripheral Vascular Disease- recannulation \<6months
  20. 9. Cardiac Insufficiency - congestive heart failure
  21. 10. Hypertension with increased blood urea nitrogen (BUN)
  22. 11. Renal Failure
  23. 12. Dementia
  24. 13. Alcoholism (defined as \>17 drinks/week)
  25. 14. Drug Abuse (excluding marijuana)
  26. 15. HIV positive
  27. 16. History of hepatitis
  28. 17. History of immunization within 4 weeks of study participation or plan to receive non- IIV vaccination within 4 weeks of receiving IIV
  29. 18. Moderate to severe illness at time of enrollment
  30. * Donations of blood in the 8 weeks prior to enrollment which, combined with expected volumes to be drawn for this study, would exceed 450 mL in an 8 week period.
  31. * Current pregnancy at time of enrollment or pregnancy within last 4 months
  32. * Active or planned breastfeeding during study participation
  33. * Psychiatric condition that precludes compliance with the protocol. Specifically excluded are persons with psychoses within the past 3 years, ongoing risk for suicide, or history of suicide attempt or gesture within the past 3 years.
