Description

Inclusion Criteria :

  • Age of 18 years or greater.
  • Ambulatory.
  • In reasonably good health as assessed by the investigator.
  • Available for duration of the study (21 days + 2d).
  • Willing and able to meet protocol requirements.
  • Willing and able to give informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria :

  • Self-reported allergy to egg proteins, chicken proteins, or one of the constituents of the vaccine, such as thimerosal or formaldehyde.
  • An acute illness with or without fever (temperature >100.4°F) in the 72 hours preceding enrollment in the trial.
  • Clinically significant findings in vital signs (including temperature >100.4°F) or review of systems.
  • Self-reported history of severe adverse event to any influenza vaccine.
  • Vaccination against influenza in the 6 months preceding enrollment in the study.
  • Any vaccination in the 14 days preceding enrollment in the study or scheduled between Visit 1 and Visit 3.
  • Participation in any other experimental drug or vaccine trial within the 30 days preceding enrollment into the study.
  • Immunosuppressive therapy including long-term (> 2 weeks) systemic corticosteroids or cancer therapy within the past 3 months or ongoing.
  • Receipt of blood or blood products within the 3 months preceding enrollment in the study.
  • Diabetes
  • Any condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, would pose a health risk to the subject or interfere with the evaluation of the vaccine (e.g., existing severe chronic illness such as pulmonary disorders, cardiovascular disorders, chronic blood disorders, etc.).
  • Person deprived of freedom by an administrative or court order (having legal or medical guardian).
  • For women of childbearing age, a positive urine pregnancy test, breast feeding, or not using a medically approved and reliable form of contraception (oral contraceptives or double barrier method) for the duration of the trial.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants With Solicited Injection Site and Systemic Reactions Post-Vaccination With Fluzone®
Time Frame: Days 0 to 3 Post-vaccination

Solicited injection site reactions: Erythema, bruising, induration, and Pain at injection site.

Solicited systemic reaction: Fever (temperature), chills, rash, headache, cough, runny nose, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, malaise, myalgia, and arthralgia

Days 0 to 3 Post-vaccination
Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) of Hemagglutination Inhibition Antibodies Before and After Vaccination With Fluzone®
Time Frame: Day 0 and Day 21 Post-vaccination
Hemagglutination inhibition antibodies is a measure of the serum antibody to the influenza virus in the vaccine as determined by the hemagglutinin inhibition (HAI) assay.
Day 0 and Day 21 Post-vaccination
Percentage of Participants With a ≥ 4-Fold Rise in Serum Hemagglutination Inhibition Antibody Titers Post-Vaccination With Fluzone®
Time Frame: Day 21 Post-vaccination
Hemagglutination inhibition antibodies is a measure of the serum antibody to the influenza virus in the vaccine as determined by the hemagglutinin inhibition (HAI) assay.
Day 21 Post-vaccination
Percentage of Participants With Serum Hemagglutination Inhibition Antibody Titers ≥ 40 Post-Vaccination With Fluzone®
Time Frame: Day 21 Post-vaccination
Hemagglutination inhibition antibodies is a measure of the serum antibody to the influenza virus in the vaccine as determined by the hemagglutinin inhibition (HAI) assay
Day 21 Post-vaccination
