Abstract
BACKGROUND:

 Live, attenuated (LAIV) and inactivated influenza (IIV) vaccines are available for children. Local and systemic immunity induced by LAIV followed a month later by LAIV and IIV followed by LAIV were investigated with virus recovery after LAIV doses as surrogates for protection against influenza on natural exposure.
METHODS:

 Fifteen children received IIV followed by LAIV, 13 an initial dose of LAIV, and 11 a 2nd dose of LAIV. The studies were done during the falls of 2009-2010 with the same seasonal vaccine (A/California/07/09 (H1N1), A/Perth/16/09 (H3N2), B/Brisbane/60/08).
RESULTS:

 Twenty-eight of 39 possible influenza viral strains were recovered after the initial dose of LAIV. When LAIV followed IIV 21/45 viral strains were identified. When compared to primary LAIV infection the decreased frequency of shedding with the IIV-LAIV schedule was significant (P=0.023). With LAIV-LAIV, the fewest viral strains were recovered, 3/33 - numbers significantly lower (P<0.001) than shedding after initial LAIV and after IIV-LAIV(P<0.001). Serum HAI antibody responses were more frequent after IIV than LAIV (P=0.02). In contrast, more mucosal IgA responses were seen with LAIV.
CONCLUSIONS:

 LAIV priming induces greater inhibition of virus recovery on LAIV challenge than IIV priming. The correlate(s) of protection are the subject of ongoing analysis.
