Eligibility Criteria

60 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesAccepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion Criteria: who are aged at least 60 years or older at the time of enrollment; who are determined by medical history, physical examination and clinical judgement to be eligible for this study; who have provided written informed consent after the nature of the study has been explained; who will be available for duration of the trial (from enrollment to November 30th, 2003); who can be reached by study staff for the post-vaccination and weekly surveillance contacts [telephone, clinic or home visit]. Exclusion Criteria: who are perceived to be unavailable or difficult to contact for evaluation or study visits during the study period; who are a resident of a nursing home or long-term care facility or other institution receiving skilled or semi-skilled nursing care (refer to Influenza study specific manual). An ambulatory subject who is a resident of a retirement home or village is eligible for the trial; with any signs of renal insufficiency requiring supportive therapy or progressive neurological disease. (Subjects with other stable pre-existing disease, defined as disease not requiring change in therapy or hospitalization within 12 weeks before receipt of study vaccination will be eligible). with evidence of dementia or other severe cognitive impairment based on Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores (refer to Influenza study specific manual); with a known or suspected disease of the immune system or those receiving immunosuppressive therapy, including systemic corticosteroids; or cytotoxic agents; who received any blood products, including immunoglobulin, in the period from six months prior to vaccination through to the conclusion of the study; have an immunosuppressed or an immunocompromised individual living in the same household; with a documented history of hypersensitivity to egg or egg protein or any other component of the CAIV-T or TIV vaccine; who were administered any live virus vaccine within one month prior to vaccination or expected to receive another live virus vaccine within one month of vaccination in this study; for whom there is intent to administer any other investigational vaccine or agent from one month prior to enrollment through to the conclusion of the study; who received a dose of influenza treatment (commercial or investigational) one month prior to enrollment. The prophylactic use of influenza antivirals is not permitted. who receive any influenza vaccine in the 6 months prior to enrollment, or intend to receive a non-study influenza vaccine after enrollment; with any medical conditions that in the opinion of the investigator might interfere with interpretation of the study results; Note: A pregnant household member is not considered a contraindication to enrollment.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

The first episode of a culture-confirmed influenza-illness, caused by community-acquired subtypes antigenically similar to those contained in the vaccine, which occurs at least 15 days following receipt of a dose of study vaccine.
The criteria for obtaining nasal and throat swabs for viral culture were any one of the following: A feeling of "feverishness", An oral temperature ≥37.2ºC, Sore throat, New or increased cough, Malaise, Myalgia. Swabs for viral cultures were also obtained, if, in the opinion of the investigator, the symptom complex so warranted.

Secondary Outcome Measures

The first episode of a culture-confirmed influenza-illness, caused by any community-acquired subtype, which occurs at least 15 days following receipt of a dose of study vaccine.
The criteria for obtaining nasal and throat swabs for viral culture were any one of the following: A feeling of "feverishness", An oral temperature ≥37.2ºC, Sore throat, New or increased cough, Malaise, Myalgia. Swabs for viral cultures were also obtained, if, in the opinion of the investigator, the symptom complex so warranted.
The first episode in a study subject of a culture-confirmed influenza illness caused by community-acquired virus of each of the subtypes antigenically similar to those contained in the vaccine
The criteria for obtaining nasal and throat swabs for viral culture were any one of the following: A feeling of "feverishness", An oral temperature ≥37.2ºC, Sore throat, New or increased cough, Malaise, Myalgia.

The first episode of influenza-like illness
Incidence of clinic visits
A possibility of multiple visits per subject; each visit will be counted once in the analysis.
Incidence of hospitalization
Incidence of confirmed pneumonia
Pneumonia means one or more areas of acute interstitial or alveolar infiltrates documented radiographically
Incidence of death due to influenza-like illness
With or without confirmation by viral culture or PCR analysis
Incidence of seroconversion
Seroconversion is defined as at least a 4-fold increase in titer from baseline to the sample 35 plus or minus 7 days after vaccination. all subjects were to provide serum samples at 2 time points: at study visit 1 prior to vaccination with CAIV-T or TIV, and 35 days ± 7 days following vaccination (study visit 2).
Incidence of systemic reactogenicity events
The 12 systemic reactions were fever with 3 grades defined as ≥37.2°C, ≥38.6°C, and ≥40°C based on the temperature reported on the diary card in addition to the 9 events reported on the diary card.
Incidence of local reactions
The local reactions were pain, redness (2 grades: any and significant), and swelling (also 2 grades).
Incidence of adverse events

Brief Summary
To demonstrate that the efficacy over a defined surveillance period against culture-confirmed influenza-illness caused by community-acquired subtypes antigenically similar to those contained in the vaccine, in adults aged at least 60 years at enrollment, of a single intranasally (IN) -administered dose of a liquid formulation of influenza virus vaccine,(CAIV-T) is non inferior compared with that of a single dose of commercially available influenza vaccine inactivated (TIV) administered intramuscularly (IM) prior to the anticipated commencement of the influenza season.
