T-Cell Responses in Children to Internal Influenza Antigens, 1 Year After Immunization With Pandemic H1N1 Influenza Vaccine, and Response to Revaccination With Seasonal Trivalent–inactivated Influenza Vaccine

Abstract

We show here that children previously vaccinated with the 2009 pandemic H1N1 vaccine have measurable T-cell responses 1 year after vaccination. The magnitudes of these responses are dependent on both age of vaccine and type of pandemic H1N1 vaccine used. After 2010/2011 seasonal TIV vaccination, these T-cell responses undergo a small but significant boost.
