Non-childbearing potential is defined as pre-menarche, current tubal ligation, hysterectomy or ovariectomy .
•Female subjects of childbearing potential may be enrolled in the study, if the subject:
has practiced adequate contraception for 30 days prior to vaccination, and

•Chronic administration (defined as more than 14 days) of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs within 3 months prior to the first vaccination dose. For corticosteroids, this will mean a dose equivalent to either 2 mg/kg of body weight or 20 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent for persons who weigh 10 kg when administered for more than 2 weeks. Inhaled and topical steroids are allowed.

•History of hypersensitivity to a previous dose of influenza vaccine, history of any reaction or hypersensitivity likely to be exacerbated by any component of the vaccines.
•Acute disease and/or fever at the time of enrolment.
Fever is defined as temperature =37.5°C (99.5°F) on oral or axillary setting, or =38.0°C (100.4°F) on rectal setting. The possible route for recording temperature in this study will be oral, axillary or rectal
