• Persons being able to participate in the trial for 1 month from the inoculation of the trial vaccine to the completion of the trial.
• Persons being able to be contacted (by phone, hospital visit or house visit) by the trial staff at the time of testing after 28 days from the inoculation of the trial vaccine.

Exclusion Criteria

• Persons judged to be impossible or difficult to contact for requesting hospital visits to carry out clinical evaluation and tests during the trial term.
• Persons having a prior history of or suspected immunological disease, or those receiving administration of systemic corticosteroids or immunosuppressants such as cytotoxic drugs (e.g., methotrexate, etc.)

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
CAIV-T	CAIV-T	CAIV-T contains 3 cold-adapted influenza virus strains (A/H1N1, A/H3N2, B) concentrated and refined by centrifugal separation from the chorioallantoic membrane of specific pathogen-free (SPF) eggs, containing SPG (sucrose-phosphate-glutamate), arginine, and acid hydrolyzed pig gelatin as stabilizers. Subjects were inoculated once with about 0.1 mL of investigational vaccine in each nasal cavity (a total of 0.2 mL) using a nebulizer.
Placebo	Placebo	Placebo contained 0.01 mol/L potassium phosphate buffer containing 0.85% sodium chloride (pH 7.2). Subjects received about 0.1 mL (a total 0.2 mL) of the control drug using a nebulizer.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The number of subjects within each treatment arm who experienced influenza-like symptoms	Within 6 days post vaccination	Influenza-like symptoms, ie, typical clinical symptoms of influenza infection, including fever (oral temperature \> or = 38 degrees C), cough, runny or stuffy nose, sore throat, headache, chills, muscular pain, vomiting, decline in activity, decline in appetite.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The number of subjects within each treatment arm who experienced adverse events	Within 28 days of vaccination	Adverse events were classified according to the "Glossary of Side Effects of Pharmaceutical Agents, 1996."
