About

The purpose of this clinical study was to evaluate immune responses measuring antibodies in serum and secretions and cellular immune responses generated by CAIV-T vaccine in healthy adults aged 18 years and older as a means to develop assays for application in investigating potential immunological correlates of protection and/or establishing assays to measure vaccine take.

Subjects who provided written informed consent after the nature of the study was explained.
Subjects who were available for the duration of the study (from enrollment to study completion).

Subjects with evidence of dementia or other severe cognitive impairment based on Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores. Note: Prior to study vaccination, all subjects >60 years of age must have completed a MMSE.

For all study subjects:

Subjects who were perceived to be unavailable or difficult to contact for evaluation of study visits during the study period.
Subjects with a known or suspected disease of the immune system or those receiving immunosuppressive therapy, including systemic corticosteroids; or cytotoxic agents.
Subjects who resided in the same household as an immunosuppressed or immunocompromised individual.
