• Only subjects who the investigator believes that they can and will comply with the requirements of the protocol (e.g. completion of the diary cards, return for follow-up visits) should be enrolled in the study.
• A male or female aged 18 years or older at the time of the vaccination.
• Written informed consent obtained from the subject.
• Healthy subjects as established by medical history and clinical examination before entering into the study.
• If the subject is female, she must be of non-childbearing potential, i.e. have a current tubal ligation, hysterectomy, ovariectomy or be post-menopausal, or if she is of childbearing potential, she must practice adequate contraception for 30 days prior to vaccination, have a negative pregnancy test and continue such precautions for 2 months after vaccination.
• Adequate contraception is defined as a contraceptive method with failure rate of less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly (when applicable, as mentioned in the product label) for example abstinence, combined or progestogen oral contraceptives, injectable progestogen, implants of levonorgestrel, oestrogenic vaginal ring, percutaneous contraceptive patches or intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS), vasectomy with documented azoospermia of the sole male partner or double barrier method (condom or occlusive cap plus spermicidal agent). For azoospermia, documented” refers to the outcome of the investigator's/designee’s medical examination of the subject or review of the subject's medical history for study eligibility, as obtained via a verbal interview with the subject or from the subject’s medical records.
• Post-menopause: Menopause is the age associated with complete cessation of menstrual cycles, menses, and implies the loss of reproductive potential by ovarian failure. A practical definition accepts menopause after 1 year without menses with an appropriate clinical profile at the appropriate age e.g. > 45 years.

• Use of any investigational or non-registered product (drug or vaccine) other than the study vaccine within 30 days preceding the administration of the study vaccine, or planned use during the study period.
• Chronic administration (defined as more than 14 days) of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs within three months prior to administration of the vaccine. (For corticosteroids, this will mean prednisone, or equivalent, greater than or equal to 0.5 mg/kg/day. Inhaled and topical steroids are allowed.)
• Administration of a vaccine not foreseen by the study protocol 30 days before vaccination or planned vaccination within the following 30 days.
• Confirmed influenza infection within a year preceding the study start.
• Administration of an influenza vaccine during Flu season 2007-2008.
• Concurrently participating in another clinical study, at any time during the study period, in which the subject has been or will be exposed to an investigational or a non-investigational product (pharmaceutical product or device).
• History of hypersensitivity to a previous dose of influenza vaccine
• Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition, based on medical history and physical examination (no laboratory testing required).
• History of allergic disease or reactions likely to be exacerbated by any component of the vaccine including egg or chicken protein.
• Acute disease at the time of enrolment. (Acute disease is defined as the presence of a moderate or severe illness with or without fever. All vaccines can be administered to persons with a minor illness such as diarrhoea, mild upper respiratory infection with or without low-grade febrile illness, i.e. Oral temperature <37.5°C (99.5°F))
• Unstable chronic, clinically significant pulmonary, cardiovascular, hepatic or renal functional abnormality, as determined by physical examination or laboratory screening tests.
• Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products within the three months preceding the administration of study vaccine or planned administration during the study period.
• Pregnant or lactating female.
• History of chronic alcohol consumption and/or drug abuse.
• Female planning to become pregnant or planning to discontinue contraceptive precautions.
• Any condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, prevents the subject from participating in the study.
