Summary:
We are looking for healthy subjects who have not received the flu shot in the past year but intend to get the flu shot to participate in a study of the effect of exercise on influenza (flu) vaccination response. Alternatively we are looking for healthy subjects who have never been vaccinated for Hepatitis B but intend to get the hepatitis B shot. Subjects will complete a health questionnaire, be monitored while performing exercises, and be asked if they can get their intended vaccine at a particular time around this exercise as part of this study. Blood samples will be collected during the study.
Eligible subjects will be compensated for their time, and may be reimbursed for their vaccines if your insurance does not cover it.
Subjects will be compensated $230.00
Qualified Participants Must:
• Be medically healthy, and not currently being treated for any condition
•
Be between 18 and 64 years or age
•
NOT have received the influenza (flu) vaccine for at least a year OR, have NOT received the hepatitis B vaccine ever
•
Be willing to receive the vaccine you want at a particular time
•
Be willing and able to participate in moderate exercise
Subjects will be excluded from the study if they have:
- Already received the flu vaccine this year and already received the Hepatitis B shot ever in their life.
- Ever had an allergic reaction to a vaccine.
- Any medical or health condition that would make participating in moderate exercise or getting these vaccines inadvisable.
Qualified Participants May Receive:
Compensation of $230.00 for your time and
Hepatitis B or influenza vaccine free of charge.
