Early childhood influenza infections imprint influenza-specific immune memory, with most studies evaluating antibody specificity. In this study, we examined how infection versus inactivated influenza vaccination (IIV) establish pediatric CD4 T-cell mediated immunity to influenza and whether this poises the immune system to respond differently to IIV the following year.
