Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Sirolimus (RAPAMUNE) →Influenza vaccine (Sequiris Fluad Quad) →RSV vaccine (Pfizer Abrysvo) →

Sirolimus (RAPAMUNE): All treatment groups will receive 9 doses of 2mg sirolimus over a 3 week period, at varying times relative to vaccination.

Influenza vaccine (Sequiris Fluad Quad): All participants will receive a dose of the seasonal Influenza vaccine (Sequiris Fluad Quad)

RSV vaccine (Pfizer Abrysvo): All participants will receive a dose of the RSV vaccine (Pfizer Abrysvo)

Study summary

This study will investigate dialysis recipients' responses to important vaccines.

Research suggests that a medication commonly used by transplant recipients may improve vaccine responses. The investigators will be conducting a clinical trial to see whether a short course of low-dose Sirolimus improves the response to vaccination against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and influenza (flu) in patient with kidney disease over 60 years old who receive haemodialysis.
