Summary:

      This is a pilot, prospective, randomized, open-label clinical trial. During the study,
      pregnant women will be randomized (1:1) to receive co-administration of a single
      intramuscular (IM) 0.5 mL dose of US-licensed inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV) and a
      single intramuscular (IM) 0.5 mL dose of US-licensed Tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria
      toxoid and acellular pertussis vaccine adsorbed (Tdap) or sequential administration of the
      vaccines (IIV followed by Tdap ~ 21 days later). Vaccines will be administered by licensed
      study personnel.

      Prior Tdap/Td/TT and influenza vaccine history will be verified by medical record review when
      possible.

      Injection-site (local) and systemic reaction data will be assessed on vaccination day and
      during the 7 days following vaccination using either identical web-based or paper diaries,
      depending on study participant preference.

      Maternal serum samples will be collected for antibody titers relevant to the Tdap and
      Influenza at time points that include: prior to vaccination(s), ~21 days post vaccination(s),
      and at delivery. Additionally, cord blood serum will be analyzed for the same antibody
      titers.

      Pregnant women will be followed with comprehensive obstetric and neonatal outcomes obtained
      from medical record review.
    

Eligibility criteria:

        Inclusion Criteria:

          1. Pregnant, as determined by medical history; 18 - 45 years of age inclusive

          2. Intention of receiving Tdap and IIV vaccines based on Advisory Committee on
             Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommendations

          3. Willing to provide written informed consent prior to initiation of any study
             procedures

          4. Singleton gestation ≥ 26 weeks 0 days gestation - ≤32 weeks 0 days gestation at the
             time of Visit 1 vaccination based on reconciliation of last menstrual period and
             ultrasound dating. Estimated due date (EDD) and Gestational Age (GA) - EDD will be
             based on reconciliation of a "sure" first day of the last menstrual period (LMP) and
             earliest dating ultrasound. If the LMP is uncertain, then the earliest dating
             ultrasound will be used to determine EDD and GA. If the ultrasound derived-EDD is in
             agreement with sure-LMP derived EDD, then the LMP-derived EDD is used to determine GA.
             If the ultrasound derived EDD is not in agreement with the LMP-derived EDD, the
             ultrasound-derived EDD is used to determine GA.

          5. English or Spanish literate

          6. Intention of being available for entire study period and complete all relevant study
             procedures, including follow-up phone calls and collection of delivery information.
