Overview
Brief Summary
This is an open study of the use of AdimFlu-S (2010-2011 season) vaccine in young subjects aged between 6 months old to 18 years old. All participants will be divided into three age cohorts. First, participants aged 6 through < 36 months will receive 2 doses of 0.25 mL vaccine separated by 4 weeks. Second, participants aged 3 through < 9 years will receive 2 doses of 0.5 mL vaccine separated by 4 weeks. Third, participants aged 9 through < 18 years will receive one dose of 0.5 mL vaccine. Safety outcomes included immediate reactions at the time of vaccination, solicited local and systemic reactions within 7 days after each vaccination, unsolicited adverse events, and serious adverse events. Sera prepared from blood samples will be collected from each subject immediately prior to, and 4 weeks after each vaccination. Anti-hemaglutinin (HA) antibody titers will be determined using the WHO haemaglutination inhibition reference technique. The analysis will be observer-blinded. All participants will be followed, either by clinical visit or by telephone contact, for 6 months after the first vaccination for safety reasons.
Investigators

- •Female subjects who are pregnant, lactating or likely to become pregnant during the study; Women of childbearing potential disagree to use an acceptable method of contraception (e.g., hormonal contraceptives, IUD, barrier device or abstinence) throughout the study;
- •Treatment with an investigational drug or device, or participation in a clinical study, within 3 months before consent;

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
The primary objective is to evaluate the immunogenicity profiles for influenza virus vaccine strains (2010-2011 season) of the AdimFlu-S manufactured by Adimmune Corporation.
Time Frame: Serum samples will be obtained prior to vaccination (baseline), and 4 weeks after each vaccination.
Serum samples will be obtained prior to vaccination, and 4 weeks after each vaccination. Serum samples will be tested for anti-hemaglutinin (HA) antibodies by hemagglutinaton inhibition (HAI), and assays will be performed at Adimmune Corporation designated central laboratory. Subjects will be considered to be seronegative if serum HAI titer\<1:10. The seroconversion is defined as the post-vaccination serum at least 40 for whom had negative pre-vaccination or a fourfold or greater increase in HAI titers in subjects who had positive pre-vaccination serum.
Secondary Outcomes
- The secondary objective is to evaluate the safety and tolerability profiles including the presence or absence of the pre-specified reactogenicity events and other serious/non-serious adverse events of the AdimFlu-S manufactured by Adimmune Corporation.(Safety data will consist of reactogenicity, serious and non-serious adverse events throughout the study, including 7 days after each dose of study vaccine. Vital signs and physical examination will be performed at each clinic visit.)
