Revaccination With Subunit Influenza A/Vietnam/1203/2004 (H5N1) Vaccine

Completed · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Influenza

In brief

The purpose of this study is to determine whether having received an H5 vaccine in the past primes the immune system to respond rapidly to another dose of H5 vaccine. One hundred seventeen participants in a previous vaccine study (involving the A/Hong/Kong/97 virus) during the fall of 1998 at the University of Rochester will be eligible to enroll in this study. Participation in this study will up to 64 days and will involve donation of small samples of blood 7, 28, and 56 days after vaccination.
