Background and study aims
Shingles is a common and painful disease, it can result in long-term pain and in rare cases can even be fatal. It is recommended that all adults in the UK are offered the shingles vaccine on their 70th birthday. Uptake of the shingles vaccine is suboptimal, therefore strategies to improve uptake are needed.
Routine reporting of the shingles vaccine suggests that uptake is greater during the influenza season, and it is assumed this is due to it being offered at the same time as the annual flu vaccine. A new vaccine for shingles has been recommended since 2021, a recombinant herpes zoster vaccination.
Up until May 2023 concomitant administration of RZV with either adjuvanted or COVID-19 vaccine (C19) was not recommended due to concern about misattribution of side-effects and limited experience with COVID-19 vaccines. The policy was updated in May 2023 to allow co-administration of COVID-19 vaccines with any vaccine. This was based on recent evidence supporting the acceptable safety profile of a COVID-19 vaccine with RZV and to improve timely protection and uptake. There is still a need however for safety data with co-administration of second dose of RZV as the adverse event profile differs between the doses and there is a lack of published data on the safety and immunogenicity of RZV and adjuvanted flu vaccine.
Who can participate?
Healthy volunteers aged 50 years and over who have not received a live shingles vaccine within 5 years
What does the study involve?
Participants will be required to attend six study appointments over a period of 5 months at their nearest participating site. They will be randomly allocated into one of five groups, and they do not know which group they are in. Participants will be required to provide blood samples at study visits, and complete an e-diary in-between visits.
What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
The potential benefits will be protection against COVID-19, Herpes zoster and influenza. However, some participants may already be up to date with their COVID-19 and flu vaccines, and the additional COVID-19 and flu vaccine as part of the study would not offer them additional protection.
Localised bruising and discomfort can occur at the site of blood sampling. Infrequently fainting may occur. The total volume of blood drawn over a 6-week period will be approximately 260 ml (blood volumes may vary slightly for participants at different investigator sites due to the use of different volume vacutainers, following local Trust procedures). This should not compromise these otherwise healthy volunteers, as these volumes are within the limits of 470 ml every 3–4 months for blood donations to the National Blood Transfusion Service.
Allergic reactions from mild to severe may occur in response to any constituent of a medicinal product’s preparation. Anaphylaxis is extremely rare (about 1 in 1,000,000 vaccine doses) but can occur in response to any vaccine or medication. People very often have tenderness, pain, warmth, redness, itching, swelling or bruising or less commonly have a small lump in their arm where they have been vaccinated. After vaccination it is common to experience the following side effects for all vaccines: fatigue, joint aches, muscle aches, headaches, feeling sick/nauseated/vomiting or diarrhea, flu-like symptoms, such as high temperature, sore throat, runny nose, cough and chills, feeling unwell. With the shingles vaccine 1 in 10 people may experience these common side effects that are severe enough to interfere with their daily activities. They usually last for less than a week (more commonly 24-48 hours after vaccination). Other less common side effects are: abdominal pain, feeling dizzy, excessive sweating, itching skin or rash, decreased appetite, and swollen lymph nodes.

Scientific title | A phase IV, multi-centre, randomised controlled trial to assess immunogenicity and safety of COVID-19 and seasonal influenza vaccine given to healthy adults or those with underlying medical conditions when co-administered with a recombinant herpes zoster vaccine with adjuvant |
Study acronym | ZosterFluCOV |
Study objectives | The ZosterFluCov study aims to evaluate whether shingles (herpes zoster) vaccine can be co-administered with an mRNA COVID-19 (Bivalent) vaccine or an adjuvanted influenza vaccine (aQIV) without a significant immune interference or adverse reactions of the COVID-19, influenza or RZ vaccines. 1. Cell-mediated responses to two doses of RZV, 1 month after the 2nd dose, given alone compared to co-administration with Bivalent vaccine with 1st or 2nd dose of RZV. 2. Exploratory evaluation of CD4+T-cells against COVID-19 after vaccination with RZV or aQIV in the CMI cohort. 3. S and N- protein immunoglobulin, before and 1 month after first vaccination in the exploratory immunology cohort. 4. Solicited systemic AEs over 7 days after 1st and 2nd doses of RZV given alone compared to co-administration with either Bivalent vaccine or aQIV. 5. Solicited local adverse reactions over 7 days after 1st and 2nd doses of RZV given alone compared to co-administration with either Bivalent vaccine or aQIV. 6. Grade 3 and 4 SSR after 1st RZV dose in group 1, 2 and 5 compared to grade 3 SSR after 1st dose of RZV with Bivalent vaccine in group 3 7. Grade 3 and 4 SSR after 2nd dose of RZV in group 1, 3 and 4 compared to grade 3 SSR after 2nd dose RZV 8. Describe participant and study nurse attitudes to vaccine co-administration.

IPD sharing plan | The datasets generated and/or analysed during the current study will be published as a supplement to the results publication. Anonymised trial data will only be made available for sharing after the publication of the main results of the trial. Thereafter, individual participant data will be made available for secondary research, conditional on assurance from the secondary researcher that the proposed use of the data is compliant with the MRC Policy on Data Sharing regarding scientific quality, ethical requirements and value for money. A minimum requirement with respect to scientific quality will be a publicly available pre-specified protocol describing the purpose, methods and analysis of the secondary research, e.g., a protocol for a Cochrane systematic review. If participants consent for the storage of samples for future research, a copy of the participant’s consent form will be shared with the licenced Research Tissue Bank. If participants consent, local sites will store their contact details so they can be contacted about future studies that may be relevant. |
