Persons with obesity are at higher risk for developing severe complications upon influenza virus infection making vaccination a priority. Yet, studies demonstrate vaccine responses are less effective in obese hosts. In these studies, we examined how the timing of weight loss influenced influenza vaccine efficacy in male and female diet- induced obese mice. Here, we show weight loss post-vaccination is insufficient to rescue poor vaccine efficacy; however, weight loss occurring pre-vaccination successfully improves outcomes at viral challenge. Pre-vaccination weight loss improved vaccine immunogenicity and restored a functional recall response at challenge. Through tracking sera metabolic biomarkers, we propose the metabolic state at the time of vaccination is predictive of vaccine immunogenicity. Altogether, these findings highlight how timing of host-directed interventions is vital when seeking to improve influenza vaccine immunogenicity in obese hosts.
