Multiple vaccine comparison in the same adults reveals vaccine-specific and age-related humoral response patterns: an open phase IV trial

Vaccine responsiveness is often reduced in older adults. Yet, our lack of understanding of
low vaccine responsiveness hampers the development of effective vaccination strategies to
reduce the impact of infectious diseases in the ageing population. Young-adult (25–49 y),
middle-aged (50-64 y) and older-adult (≥ 65 y) participants of the VITAL clinical trials (n=
315, age-range: 28-98 y), were vaccinated with an annual (2019–2020) quadrivalent
influenza (QIV) booster vaccine, followed by a primary 13-valent pneumococcal-conjugate …
