Safety and Immunogenicity Among Healthy Children Receiving Fluzone® Quadrivalent Influenza Virus Vaccine

Completed · Phase 4

Conditions studied: Influenza

In brief

The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of Fluzone® Quadrivalent vaccine in participants aged 6 months to \< 9 years at enrollment, divided into 2 age strata (6 months to \< 36 months and 3 years to \< 9 years) Primary Objective: * To describe the safety of the 2013-2014 formulation of Fluzone Quadrivalent vaccine, administered in a 1- or 2-dose schedule, in accordance with Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommendations, in children 6 months to \< 9 years of age. Observational Objectives: * To describe the immunogenicity of the 2013-2014 formulation of Fluzone Quadrivalent vaccine, administered in a 1- or 2-dose schedule in accordance with ACIP recommendations, in children 6 months to \< 9 years of age. * To submit sera from subjects to the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) for further analysis by the World Health Organization (WHO), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to support formulation recommendations for subsequent influenza vaccines.

Participation in another interventional clinical trial investigating a vaccine, drug, medical device, or medical procedure in the 30 days preceding the first study vaccination or during the course of the study unless no intervention for the other study occurred within the 30 days prior to the first study vaccination and none are planned before the subject would complete safety surveillance for the present study
Prior vaccination with any formulation of 2013-2014 influenza vaccine
Bleeding disorder or receipt of anticoagulants in the 3 weeks preceding inclusion, which may be a contraindication for intramuscular (IM) vaccination, at the discretion of the Investigator
