MGI was defined as the fold increase in serum haemagglutination inhibition (HI) GMTs post-vaccination compared to pre-vaccination (Day 0).

The vaccine strains assessed were Flu A/Christchurch/16/2010 (H1N1), Flu A/Texas/50/2012 (H3N2), Flu B/Massachusetts/02/2012 (Yamagata) and Flu B/Brisbane/60/2008 (Victoria).

Mean Geometric Increase (MGI) for Haemagglutination Inhibition (HI) Antibody Titer Against Each of the Four Vaccine Influenza Strains in Subjects Aged 3-17 Years.At Day 28 post last vaccination

MGI was defined as the fold increase in serum haemagglutination inhibition (HI) GMTs post-vaccination compared to pre-vaccination (Day 0). The vaccine strains assessed were Flu A/Christchurch/16/2010 (H1N1), Flu A/Texas/50/2012 (H3N2), Flu B/Massachusetts/02/2012 (Yamagata) and Flu B/Brisbane/60/2008 (Victoria).

Duration of Solicited Local AEs in Subjects Aged 6-35 Months.During the 7-day (Days 0-6) post-vaccination period

Duration was defined as number of days with any grade of local symptoms.

Number of Subjects Aged 6-35 Months Reporting Any, Grade 3 and Related Solicited General Symptoms.During the 7-day (Days 0-6) post-vaccination period

Solicited general symptoms assessed were drowsiness, irritability/fussiness, loss of appetite and fever. Any was defined as any solicited general symptom reported irrespective of intensity and relationship to vaccination. Related was defined as symptoms assessed by the investigator to have a causal relationship to vaccination. Grade 3 irritability/fussiness was defined as crying that could not be comforted/prevented normal activity. Grade 3 loss of appetite was defined as not eating at all. Grade 3 drowsiness was defined as drowsiness that prevented normal activity. Any fever was defined as subjects with a documented temperature of greater than or equal to (≥) 38°C/100.4°F by any route and all subjects reporting temperature less than (\< )38°C but with missing values (MC) for at least one day during the solicited period. Grade 3 fever was defined as temperature greater than (\>)39.0°C.

Duration of Solicited General AEs in Subjects Aged 6-35 Months.During the 7-day (Days 0-6) post-vaccination period

Duration was defined as number of days with any grade of general symptoms.

Number of Subjects Aged 6-35 Months Reporting the Occurrence of All Medically Attended Events (MAEs)During the entire study period (approximately 28 days (primed subjects) and 56 days (unprimed subjects) following vaccination

MAEs were defined as adverse events with medically-attended visits that were not routine visits for physical examination or vaccination, such as visits for hospitalization, an emergency room visit, or an otherwise unscheduled visit to or from medical personnel (medical doctor) for any reason. Any was defined as any occurrence of MAE(s). Grade 3 was a MAE that prevented normal activities. Related was defined as a MAE assessed by the investigator to be causally related to the study vaccination.

Number of Subjects Aged 6-35 Months, Reporting Any and Related Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)During the entire study period [approximately 28 days (primed subjects) and 56 days (unprimed subjects)]

A serious adverse event was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that: resulted in death, was life threatening, required hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, resulted in disability/incapacity or was a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study subject. Any was defined as occurrence of any symptom regardless of intensity grade or relation to vaccination and related was an event assessed by the investigator as causally related to the study vaccination.
