Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number Of Subjects Reporting Solicited Local and Systemic Adverse Events and Other Indicators Of Reactogenicity After Any Vaccination.
Time Frame: Day 1 to Day 7 after any vaccination
Safety was assessed as the number of subjects who reported solicited local and systemic adverse events and other indicators of reactogenicity following two doses of either mammalian cell culture-derived or egg-derived trivalent influenza vaccination in subjects aged ≥4 To ≤17 Years.
Day 1 to Day 7 after any vaccination
Number Of Subjects Reporting Unsolicited Adverse Events After Any Vaccination.
Time Frame: Day 1 to Day49 for subjects aged ≥4 To ≤8 years not previously vaccinated. Day 1 to Day 38 for subjects aged ≥4 To ≤8 years previously vaccinated and all subjects aged ≥9 To ≤17 years.
Safety was assessed as the number of subjects who reported unsolicited adverse events following vaccination with either mammalian cell culture-derived or egg-derived trivalent influenza vaccination in subjects aged ≥4 To ≤17 Years.
Day 1 to Day49 for subjects aged ≥4 To ≤8 years not previously vaccinated. Day 1 to Day 38 for subjects aged ≥4 To ≤8 years previously vaccinated and all subjects aged ≥9 To ≤17 years.
Number Of Subjects Reporting Unsolicited Serious Adverse Events After Any Vaccination.
Time Frame: Day 1 to Day 183 for previously vaccinated subjects and Day 213 for not-previously vaccinated subjects
Safety was assessed as the number of subjects who reported serious adverse events (SAEs), medically attended AEs and new onset of chronic diseases (NOCD) in subjects aged ≥4 To ≤17 Years.
Day 1 to Day 183 for previously vaccinated subjects and Day 213 for not-previously vaccinated subjects
