- Conditions
- Influenza
- Interventions
- Biological: Influenza virus vaccine (2004-2005 Formulation)
- Registration Number
- NCT00858468
- Lead Sponsor
- Sanofi Pasteur, a Sanofi Company
- Brief Summary
Primary Objective:
To describe the safety of the 2004-2005 pediatric formulation of the inactivated, split-virion influenza vaccine Fluzone®, given in the two-dose schedule (described in the package insert for vaccine-naïve young children) to the investigational and control groups.
Observational Objective:
To describe the percentage of protective Hemagglutination Inhibition (HAI) antibody titers (following a 2-dose Fluzone® immunization series) to each of the 3 vaccine antigens among the investigational and control groups.
- Detailed Description
This is an observational and descriptive study that will provide preliminary comparative information about the safety and immunogenicity of Fluzone® vaccine among children aged 6 to 12 weeks (the investigational group, also referred to as the 2-month-old group) versus children aged 24 to 36 weeks (the control group, also referred to as the 6-month-old group).
