This is a Phase 1b, randomized study in healthy younger (18-50 years) and older (51-70 years) adults to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of a prime-boost vaccination regimen with an investigational plasmid DNA vaccine directed towards the 2011/12 influenza vaccine strains as a prime followed 36 weeks later by the 2012/13 influenza trivalent inactivated vaccine (TIV) as the booster injection, as compared to placebo prime followed by the 2012/13 seasonal TIV. The hypothesis is that the DNA vaccine will be safe for human administration and that the DNA vaccine prime-TIV boost schedule will elicit a better immune response than the seasonal TIV alone.

The aim of this study is to describe immunogenicity of a single booster dose of Adacel vaccine versus Boostrix vaccine among approximately 420 adolescents 11 to \<13 years of age. Primary objective: * To describe seroprotection rates against tetanus and diphtheria in subjects randomized to receive either Adacel or Boostrix vaccine. Observational objectives: * To describe pre- and post-vaccination tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis geometric mean antibody concentrations (GMCs) in subjects randomized to receive either Adacel or Boostrix vaccine. * To describe booster response rates against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis in subjects randomized to receive either Adacel or Boostrix vaccine. * To describe the rates of adverse events (AEs) immediately post-vaccination, and the rates of unsolicited AEs and serious adverse events (SAEs) following vaccination with Adacel or Boostrix vaccine from Visit 1 through Visit 2.

The investigators hypothesized that vaccination with either the 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV23) alone or the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV 13) followed by PPV23 results in similar antibody levels/functional activity and induce a similar pneumococcal polysaccharide (PPS)-specific B cell response in HIV-positive individuals \>50 years of age and HIV-negative persons\>50 years of age. The investigators immunized the study group HIV+ persons\>50 and controls (HIV negative \>50 years) with PCV13 followed by PPV23 and HIV+\>50 with PPV23 alone. The investigators examined immune responses to PPS23F and PPS14 on a quantitative and qualitative level using ELISA and opsonophagocytic assays (OPA). To test the hypothesis that the levels of antigen specific B cells identified with PPS were comparable between the PPV23 and PCV13 vaccine recipients. Pre- and post-immunization peripheral blood samples were obtained. Extensive B cell phenotype analysis using fluorescent antibodies was used to characterize PPS-labeled B cells. Specific phenotypes were correlated with antibody levels and OPA and compared to historic populations immunized with PPV. Read Less

The aim of this trial is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the 2014-2015 formulations of Fluzone® Quadrivalent and Fluzone® Intradermal vaccines in adults 18 to \< 65 years or age, and of the 2014-2015 formulations of Fluzone® Quadrivalent and Fluzone® High-Dose vaccines in adults ≥ 65 years of age. Objectives: * To describe the safety of the 2014-2015 formulations of Fluzone Quadrivalent and Fluzone Intradermal vaccines in adults 18 to \< 65 years of age and the safety of the 2014-2015 formulations of Fluzone® Quadrivalent and Fluzone® High-Dose vaccines in adults ≥ 65 years of age. Observational objectives: * To describe the immunogenicity of the 2014-2015 formulations of Fluzone® Quadrivalent and Fluzone® Intradermal vaccines in adults 18 to \< 65 years of age and the immunogenicity of the 2014-2015 formulations of Fluzone® Quadrivalent and Fluzone ®High-Dose vaccines in adults ≥ 65 years of age. * To evaluate the compliance, in terms of immunogenicity, of each study vaccine (Fluzone® Quadrivalent, Fluzone® Intradermal, and Fluzone® High-Dose) in the applicable age group with the historical requirements of the Committee for Human Medicinal Products (CHMP) Note for Guidance (NfG) CPMP/BWP/214/96.

Rabies immune globulin is a product that is lifesaving to unvaccinated individuals exposed to the rabies virus. Rabies immune globulin is made from plasma from immune donors. Currently the only practical method to obtain this plasma is to immunize normal volunteer Source Plasma donors and collect their plasma while titers are adequate. The use of rabies vaccine for immunization of normal Source Plasma donors is currently limited to a level that, while protective for the individual, is unsuitable for production of rabies immune globulin. The objective of this study is to obtain efficacy and safety data regarding the rabies boostering program to demonstrate that: 1. Rabies immune plasma production can be substantially increased by giving booster doses to previously immunized donors whose titers are below 10.0 IU/mL. 2. It is safe for normal Source Plasma donors to receive booster doses of rabies vaccine on a regular basis. This study utilizes two rabies vaccines approved by the FDA, Imovax® (Sanofi-Pasteur) and RabAvert® (Novartis). Read Less

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.
