Influenza Vaccine Antibody Response and 6-month Persistence in Lung Transplant Recipients Using Two Definitions of Seroprotection
This a sub-study of a 5-year study designed to investigate how antibody and T cell responses following influenza vaccine compare among lung transplant patients, patients waiting for lung transplantation, and healthy individuals. This study is designed to investigate two different definitions of influenza vaccine seroprotection at mid-season in lung transplant patients.

Conditions
- Influenza
Interventions
- Influenza vaccine
Primary outcomes
- Number of Participants with Seroprotection to Influenza Vaccine: 40 HAU — up to 6 months
The hypothesis is that seroprotection, defined as 40 HAU or greater, will persist up to 6 months at high rates in lung transplant patients and that these rates will be comparable to the rates in healthy individuals. Seroprotection (antibody titer greater than or equal to 1:40) will be reported for H1N1, H3N2, and B viral antigens.
