Large-Scale flu vaccine safety study targets rare side effects
NCT ID NCT07710586
First seen Jul 17, 2026 · Last updated Jul 21, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study evaluates the safety of a quadrivalent subunit influenza vaccine in over 3,000 healthy individuals aged 3 years and older in Jiangsu Province, China. Researchers track rare adverse reactions, including cerebral infarction, and monitor side effects within 30 minutes, 7 days, and 28 days after vaccination, as well as serious events up to 6 months. The goal is to confirm the vaccine's safety profile in a real-world setting.

- a quadrivalent subunit influenza vaccine
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could confirm the safety profile of this flu vaccine in a large population, supporting its continued use.
- What could go wrong
- This is a post-marketing safety study, not a test of efficacy. It may detect rare side effects but cannot prove the vaccine prevents flu.
