Adjuvanted Inactivated Vaccine Versus Inactivated Influenza Vaccine in Hutterite Children

November 19, 2024 updated by: McMaster University

A Randomized Controlled Trial of Adjuvanted Inactivated Vaccine Versus Inactivated Influenza Vaccine in Hutterite Children

This study is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing adjuvanted influenza vaccine (AV) to unadjuvanted inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV). Children in Hutterite colonies in Alberta and Saskatchewan will receive AV or IIV. The goal of this study is to determine whether the AV vaccine, can provide increased community-wide protection.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Adjuvanted Influenza Vaccine
Fluad. A 0.25 ml intramuscular dose of the vaccine will be administered to children aged from 6 months to less than 36 months and a 0.5ml dose will be administered to children aged from 36 months to 6 years. Previously unvaccinated children who are less than 9 years of age at the time of immunization will receive a second 0.25 ml dose of the vaccine four weeks following the first vaccine as per influenza immunization recommendations if they are aged between 6 months and less than 36 months or a second dose of 0.5ml if they are aged from 36 months to 6 years.
Active Comparator: Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine
Fluzone. A 0.5 ml dose of the vaccine will be administered intramuscularly. Previously unvaccinated children who are less than 9 years of age at the time of immunization will receive a second 0.5 ml dose of the influenza vaccine four weeks following the first vaccine as per influenza immunization recommendations.
