Summary

This study aimed to see if a high-dose flu vaccine works better than a standard-dose vaccine at preventing serious health problems in adults aged 65 and older. Over 33,000 participants received one of the two vaccines. Researchers then tracked hospitalizations and other health events related to heart and lung conditions to compare the vaccines' effectiveness.
