Scientists map how flu vaccine alters your Nose's germs

NCT ID NCT02597647

Summary

This small, early-stage study aimed to understand how the flu virus changes the community of bacteria living in the nose and throat, and how the body's immune system responds. Healthy volunteers received either a nasal spray flu vaccine or a placebo saline spray. Researchers then took samples over several weeks to track changes in bacteria and immune signals, hoping to learn more about how flu infections work.
