Randomized, controlled trial of high-dose influenza vaccine among frail residents of long-term care facilities.
The researchers compared high-dose to standard-dose inactivated influenza vaccine in residents of long-term-care facilities (LTCFs) during the 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 influenza seasons. They found that, among frail, elderly residents of LTCFs, high-dose influenza vaccine produced superior responses for all strains except influenza A(H1N1) in 2012-2013.
