Eligibility Criteria

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

Inclusion Criteria:

All subjects must satisfy the following criteria at study entry:

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Use of any investigational or non-registered product (drug or vaccine) other than the study vaccine(s) within 30 days prior to vaccination, or planned use during the study period.

  • Vaccination against influenza since February 2008 with a seasonal influenza vaccine.
  • Previous vaccination in the last three years with an investigational adjuvanted vaccine candidate seasonal or pandemic influenza vaccine.
  • Chronic administration (defined as more than 14 days) of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs within six months prior to the first vaccine dose.
  • Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition, based on medical history and physical examination.
  • History of hypersensivity to a previous dose of influenza vaccine.
  • History of allergy or reactions likely to be exacerbated by any component of the vaccine(s) including egg or chicken protein.
  • Acute (active) clinically significant pulmonary, cardiovascular, hepatic or renal functional abnormality, as determined by clinical evaluation or pre-existing laboratory screening tests.
  • Acute disease at the time of enrolment.
  • Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products within the three months preceding the first administration of the study vaccine or planned administration during the study.
  • Any medical conditions in which intramuscular injections are contraindicated.

Duration of Solicited General AEs
Duration was defined as number of days with any grade of general symptoms.
Number of Subjects Reporting Any, Grade 3 and Related Unsolicited AEs
Unsolicited AE covers any AE reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study and any solicited symptom with onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms. Any was defined as occurrence of any unsolicited symptom, regardless of intensity or relation to vaccination, grade 3 was unsolicited symptom that prevented normal activity and related was event assessed by investigator as causally related to the study vaccination.
Number of Subjects Reporting Any, Grade 3 and Related AEs With a Medically Attended Visit (MAEs)
For each solicited and unsolicited AE the subject experienced, the subject was asked if they received medical attention defined as hospitalization, an emergency room visit or a visit to or from medical personnel (medical doctor) for any reason. Any was defined as occurrence of any symptom, regardless of intensity or relation to vaccination, grade 3 was defined as symptom that prevented normal activity and related was event assessed by investigator as causally related to the study vaccination.
Number of Subjects Reporting Any AEs of Specific Interest (AESI)
AESI for safety monitoring are a subset of AEs that include both clearly autoimmune diseases and also other inflammatory and/or neurologic disorders which may or may not have an autoimmune etiology. Any was defined as occurrence of any symptom, regardless of intensity or relation to vaccination.
Number of Subjects Reporting Any and Related Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
SAEs assessed include medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, result in disability/incapacity or are a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study subject.
