[h=3]Abstract[/h] Despite the benefits of yearly influenza vaccination, accumulating evidence suggests that diminished vaccine efficacy may be related to repeated vaccination. Although studied at the level of B cell responses, CD4 T cell responses have not yet been examined. Here, we analyze CD4 T cell responses to influenza vaccination in subjects who differ in their vaccine history. We find a striking disparity in their responses, with previously vaccinated subjects exhibiting significantly blunted CD4 T cell responses and diminished antibody responses. These results suggest that limiting CD4 T cell help may underlie the diminished or altered antibody responses in repeatedly vaccinated subjects.
