What is the ultimate goal of this research endeavor?

"The primary aim of this clinical trial, which will be monitored post-vaccine for approximately 28 days, is to assess the percent of cases that experience a 4 fold titer increase following vaccination. The secondary goals are to ascertain changes in immune status through switched B cells percentage, shifts in affective state via Impact of Event Score Intrusion (IES-I), Affect Balance Scale (ABS) negative and positive affect measures as well as Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D) scores; lastly, alterations associated with flu vaccine response based on inflammatory cytokines change score against HAI response also need to be examined" - Anonymous Online Contributor
