This grant, offered by a health research department, is for the purpose of leveraging longitudinal cohort studies to deepen our understanding of influenza immunity. It specifically focuses on how this immunity influences vaccine response and effectiveness in adults aged 65 and older. The initiative aims to uncover the relationship between these immune factors and severe influenza outcomes, such as hospitalization and death, in this older demographic. By supporting comprehensive research into these crucial aspects, this grant seeks to develop enhanced strategies for protecting the health and mitigating the impact of influenza on the elderly population.
