The purpose of this study is to describe the immune response to a novel H1N1 influenza vaccination in healthy adults, and to understand the factors that allow healthy adults to respond to a single dose of vaccine even if they have never previously experience novel H1N1 disease or vaccination.
Studies have now determined that only a single dose of inactivated vaccine is needed for immunization against novel H1N1, but the reasons why adults appear to be ready to respond to a single dose are not known.
