Did you know that vaccines for older adults may have lower effectiveness than in younger individuals?
We are inviting adults aged 65+ to participate in a research study for a new potential vaccine designed to offer improved protection from the influenza virus for older adults.
Volunteering in clinical research is a valuable way to contribute to scientific knowledge and potentially help your community.

Description
As we age, our immune system can become weaker, making it harder to fight off infections like the influenza virus. Older adults are at a higher risk of developing severe illness or complications from the flu such as pneumonia, exacerbation of existing health conditions and in severe cases hospitalisation.
Vaccines for older adults may have lower effectiveness than in younger individuals so Momentum Clinical Research are evaluating a new potential flu vaccine that has an added ingredient (called an adjuvant) to boost the body’s immune response to better protect older adults from the flu.
What to expect
This research study aims to compare the effectiveness of the study vaccine with added adjuvant with a standard flu vaccine.
Participants will receive one vaccination of either the study vaccine or a standard flu vaccine and participants’ health and immune response with be monitored throughout the duration of the study.
Throughout the duration of the study, you will receive study-related care and be monitored closely by our professional medical team.
Register your interest now to find out if you are eligible to participate in this study and help researchers find a new potential flu vaccine that is more effective at protecting people at a higher risk of illness from the flu.
