A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing High-dose vs. Standard Influenza Vaccine in Adult Solid Organ Transplant Recipients
The study will test whether a high dose influenza vaccination results in improved immunogenicity in adult SOT recipients as compared to standard vaccine. This will be a single center prospective observer-blind randomized controlled trial conducted at the Toronto General Hospital Multi-Organ Transplant Unit, University Health Network, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Conditions
- Influenza
- Immunosuppression
Interventions
- Fluzone High-dose Influenza Vaccine
- Standard 2016-2017 Flu vaccine
Primary outcomes
- Vaccine Immunogenicity (antibody titers) — 4 weeks
Comparing pre-vaccine and 4 weeks Post-Vaccine antibody titers. Positive vaccine response will be defined as: * Seroconversion rate of 4-fold or greater increase in HAI antibody titers to each of the three antigens in the vaccine, and * seroprotection rate determined by HAI tigers of 1\>=40 post immunization
