Summary

This study tested whether a high-dose flu vaccine works better than the standard dose for adults aged 60 and older. About 1,500 healthy volunteers received either the high-dose or standard-dose shot. Researchers measured immune responses 28 days later and tracked safety. The goal was to see if the stronger dose provides better protection against four flu strains.
