Background: Improved seasonal influenza vaccines for older adults are urgently needed, which can induce broadly cross-reactive antibodies and enhanced T-cell responses, particularly against A(H3N2) viruses, while avoiding egg-adaptive antigenic changes. Methods: We randomized 2654 clinically-stable, community-dwelling adults ≥65 years of age 1:1 to receive a single intramuscular dose of either Matrix-M-adjuvanted quadrivalent nanoparticle influenza vaccine (qNIV) or a licensed inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV4) in this randomized, observer-blinded, active-comparator controlled trial conducted during the 2019-2020 influenza season. The primary objectives were to demonstrate the non-inferior immunogenicity of qNIV relative to IIV4 against 4 vaccine-homologous strains, based on Day 28 hemagglutination-inhibiting (HAI) antibody responses, described as geometric mean titers and seroconversion rate difference between treatment groups, and to describe the safety of qNIV. Cell-mediated immune (CMI) responses were measured by intracellular cytokine analysis. Findings: qNIV demonstrated immunologic non-inferiority to IIV4 against 4 vaccine-homologous strains as assessed by egg-based HAI antibody responses. Corresponding wild-type HAI antibody responses by qNIV were significantly higher than IIV4 against all 4 vaccine-homologous strains (22-66% increased) and against 6 heterologous A(H3N2) strains (34-46% increased), representing multiple genetically and/or antigenically distinct clades/subclades (all p-values <0.001). qNIV induced 3·1- to 3·9- and 4·0- to 4·9-fold increases in various polyfunctional phenotypes of antigen-specific effector CD4+ T-cells against A(H3N2) and B/Victoria strains at Day 7 post-vaccination, respectively, while corresponding fold-rises induced by IIV4 at Day 7 were 1·3-1·4 and 1·7-2·0 representing a 126-189% improvement in CMI responses for qNIV (all p-values <0·001). Local reactogenicity, primarily mild to moderate and transient pain, was higher in the qNIV group. Interpretation: qNIV was well tolerated and produced a qualitatively and quantitatively enhanced humoral and cellular immune response in older adults. These enhancements may be critical to improving the effectiveness of currently licensed influenza vaccines.

AbstractThe 2019-2020 Northern Hemisphere influenza vaccine includes antigens from 3c3.A H3N2 viruses; however, over half of circulating H3N2 viruses belong to subclade 3c2.A1b. Here, we analyzed antibody responses elicited by the egg-adapted 3c3.A H3N2 vaccine strain in ferrets and humans. We found that this vaccine strain elicits antibodies that have reduced reactivity to a wild-type 3c3.A strain and very limited reactivity to 3c2.A strains, including the currently circulating 3c2.A1b strain.

Abstract Background Immune responses to influenza vaccination can be weaker in older adults than in other age groups. We hypothesized that antibody responses would be particularly weak among repeat vaccinees when the current and prior season vaccine components are the same. Methods An observational study was conducted among 827 older adults (aged ≥75 years) in Hong Kong. Serum samples were collected immediately before and 1 month after receipt of the 2015–2016 quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine. We measured antibody titers with the hemagglutination inhibition assay and compared the mean fold rise from prevaccination to postvaccination titers and the proportions with postvaccination titers ≥40 or ≥160. Results Participants who reported receipt of vaccination during either of the previous 2 years had a lower mean fold rise against all strains than with those who did not. Mean fold rises for A(H3N2) and B/Yamagata were particularly weak after repeated vaccination with the same vaccine strain, but we did not generally find significant differences in the proportions of participants with postvaccination titers ≥40 and ≥160. Conclusions Overall, we found that reduced antibody responses in repeat vaccinees were particularly reduced among older adults who had received vaccination against the same strains in preceding years.

Background: vaccination is the best approach to prevent influenza infections so far. Serological studies on the effect of different vaccine types are important to address vaccination campaigns and protect our population. In our study, we compared the serological response against influenza A subtypes using the non-adjuvanted influenza vaccine (NAIV) in adults and the elderly and the adjuvanted influenza vaccine (AIV) in the elderly. Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis by hemagglutination inhibition assay (HI) of serum samples right before and 28 days after seasonal influenza vaccination during the 1996–2017 seasons. Conclusions: The AIV presents better performance against the A(H3N2) subtype in the elderly whereas the NAIV induces a better response against A(H1N1)pdm09 in the same group.
