Compared to young adults, the elderly mount a lower antibody response to vaccination. Thus, improvement of the immune response to influenza vaccination in this age group, which is at higher risk for influenza-related morbidity and mortality, represents an important unmet need. Primary Objectives: Immunogenicity: * To demonstrate lot consistency of the Fluzone High Dose (Fluzone HD) manufacturing process through evaluation of the immune responses elicited by three different lots. * To demonstrate the superiority of Fluzone HD vaccine compared to standard-dose Fluzone® vaccine. Secondary Objectives: Immunogenicity: * To describe the seroprotection of Fluzone HD compared to that of standard dose Fluzone® vaccine. Safety: * To describe the safety profile of Fluzone HD, in terms of solicited -, unsolicited adverse and serious adverse events post-vaccination. * To describe clinical information on some additional defined criteria during the six months following vaccination.

Secondary Objectives: Immunogenicity To describe the immunogenicity in subjects receiving investigational Fluzone and standard Fluzone®. Safety: To evaluate and describe the safety profile of investigational Fluzone in terms of solicited- and unsolicited adverse events and serious adverse events post-vaccination. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to generate additional data on the immunogenicity and safety of revaccination with Fluzone Intradermal (ID) or Fluzone Intramuscular (IM) vaccine. Primary Objective: * To evaluate and describe the safety profile of revaccination with Fluzone ID for all participants. Secondary Objective: * To describe immunogenicity following revaccination with Fluzone ID or Fluzone IM. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the effectiveness (seroprotection and seroconversion as measured by the hemagglutination inhibition \[HI\] assay) of an investigational Vero cell-derived, trivalent, seasonal influenza vaccine in adults 50 years of age and older. Subjects will be randomized in a double-blind fashion to receive a single intramuscular injection of either the investigational vaccine or a licensed egg-derived seasonal influenza vaccine. Blood will be drawn from all subjects for a determination of HI antibody titers on Days 0 and 21, body temperature and injection site reactions will be monitored daily for 7 days. In addition, subjects will be monitored for adverse events and rises in body temperature until Day 21 and again until Day 180. Read Less

The objectives of this study are to assess the dose-related safety and immunogenicity of six different dose levels of inactivated, Vero cell-derived reverse genetic reassortant A/H5N1/Indonesia/05/2005 influenza vaccine in a healthy young adult population. Subjects will receive 2 vaccinations (21 days apart) at the dose to which they were assigned. Blood will be drawn from all subjects for serum antibody determination on Days 0, 21, 42 and 180. Body temperature will be measured daily for 6 days following vaccination. Injection site reactions and systemic reactions will be monitored throughout the entire 180 days of the study. Safety data obtained at 7 days after the first vaccination for all dose levels in Cohort 1 will be reviewed by a Data Monitoring Committee and a recommendation will be obtained whether to proceed to the second vaccination of Cohort 1 and to the first vaccination of Cohort 2.

The aim of the study is to evaluate a prototype quadrivalent influenza vaccine (QIV), the licensed 2010-2011 trivalent influenza vaccine (TIV) containing the primary B strain (B1), and the investigational TIV containing the alternate B (B2) strain in children. Primary Objective: To demonstrate non-inferiority of antibody responses to QIV compared with licensed 2010-2011 TIV (containing the primary B strain) and investigational TIV (containing the alternate B strain) as assessed by geometric mean titer (GMT) ratios for each of the four virus strains separately among children aged 6 months to less than 9 years of age Secondary Objective: To demonstrate superiority of antibody responses to each B strain in QIV compared with antibody titers following vaccination with the TIV that does not contain the corresponding B strain, as assessed by GMT ratios and seroconversion rates. Observational Objective: To describe the safety profile of QIV among subjects 6 months to less than 9 years of age, as assessed by solicited injection site and systemic adverse events (AEs) collected for 7 days post-vaccination, unsolicited adverse events collected from 21 days post-vaccination, and adverse events of special interest and serious adverse events (SAEs) collected from Visit 1 to Visit 2.

The aim of the study is to demonstrate safety and immunogenicity of the quadrivalent influenza intradermal (QIV-ID) vaccine compared to the trivalent influenza vaccine (TIV) containing the B strain from the primary (Yamagata) lineage (TIV-ID1) and the trivalent influenza vaccine containing B strain from the alternate (Victoria) lineage (TIV-ID2) vaccines in producing protection against four strains of influenza virus. Primary Objective: * To demonstrate that QIV-ID induces an immune response (as assessed by hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) geometric mean titers (GMTs) and seroconversion rates) that is non-inferior to responses induced by TIV-ID1 and TIV-ID2 for the 4 virus strains at 28 days post-vaccination. Secondary Objectives: * To demonstrate that each B strain in QIV-ID induces an immune response (as assessed by HAI GMTs and seroconversion rates) that is superior to the response induced by the TIV-ID that does not contain the corresponding B strain. * To describe the rate of post-vaccination seroprotection induced by QIV-ID and TIV-ID. * To describe post-vaccination immunogenicity stratified by age (18-49 years and 50-64 years), race, ethnicity, gender, previous vaccination status, and baseline seropositivity status. * To describe the safety profile for subjects who receive QIV-ID and TIV-ID. Observational Objectives: * To demonstrate non-inferiority of QIV-ID compared to TIV-ID in terms of all Grade 2 or Grade 3 solicited systemic reactions combined * To demonstrate non-inferiority of QIV-ID compared to TIV-ID in terms of all Grade 3 solicited injection site reactions combined.
