Study Summary

This study is a prospective, randomized clinical trial. During this study,pregnant participants will be randomly assigned to receive IIV and mRNA COVID-19 vaccine either simultaneously or sequentially (7-14 days apart). All participants will receive an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine at Visit 1 (Day 1).

Solicited local and systemic symptoms of reactogenicity will be assessed on day of visit for Visits 1 and 2 and daily during the 6 days following each visit using either electronic or paper symptoms diaries, depending on study participant preference. Serious adverse events (SAE) and adverse events of special interest (AESI) will be collected throughout the duration of the study.

Pregnant people will be followed through delivery with comprehensive obstetric and infant outcomes obtained from medical record review for 90 days post-delivery.

Maternal serum samples will be collected for antibody titers relevant to Influenza and COVID-19 prior to vaccination, at Day 29 (both groups), as well as Days 36-43 if in sequential group. When feasible, maternal blood at delivery and cord blood serum will be analyzed for serological analyses of placental influenza and COVID-19 antibody transfer (cord blood: maternal antibody ratio) will be determined.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnant people ages 18 years or older at enrollment

  • Gestational age < 34 weeks 0 days based on reconciliation of last menstrual periodand ultrasound dating. Estimated due date (EDD) and Gestational Age (GA-EDD) will bebased on reconciliation of "sure" first day of the last menstrual period (LMP) andearliest dating ultrasound. If the LMP is uncertain, then the earliest datingultrasound will be used to determine EDD and GA. If the ultrasound derived-EDD is inagreement with sure-LMP derived EDD, then the LMP-derived EDD is used to determineGA. If the ultrasound derived EDD is not in agreement with the LMP-derived EDD, theultrasound-derived EDD is used to determine GA.

  • Intention to receive mRNA COVID-19 vaccine

  • Intention to receive influenza vaccine

  • Willing to provide written informed consent

  • Intention of being available for entire study period and complete all relevant studyprocedures, including follow-up phone calls and collection of delivery information.

  • Ability to speak English, Spanish or Haitian/Creole depending on site*

  • Duke will enroll English and Spanish speaking individuals.
