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.

This is a modified single-blind, randomized, parallel-group, comparative, multicenter study to test Menactra vaccine in toddlers. Primary Objectives: * To evaluate the antibody responses induced by Measles, Mumps, Rubella, and Varicella (MMRV) vaccine when administered alone or concomitantly with Menactra vaccine. * To evaluate the antibody responses induced by Pneumococcal Conjugated Vaccine (PCV) when administered alone or concomitantly with Menactra vaccine. Observational Objectives: Safety - To describe the safety profile throughout the course of the study from Day 0 up to 6 months after the last study vaccination\[s\]) in subjects in the study groups. Immunogenicity: - To describe the antibody responses to meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135, 30 days after the first and second Menactra vaccine administration in a subset of subjects in the first study group.

Primary Objective: To describe the safety of the 2004-2005 pediatric formulation of the inactivated, split-virion influenza vaccine Fluzone®, given in the two-dose schedule (described in the package insert for vaccine-naïve young children) to the investigational and control groups. Observational Objective: To describe the percentage of protective Hemagglutination Inhibition (HAI) antibody titers (following a 2-dose Fluzone® immunization series) to each of the 3 vaccine antigens among the investigational and control groups.

This clinical trial will evaluate the safety of two injections of Menactra® Vaccine in subjects at 9 months and at 12 months of age when the second dose is given concomitantly with other pediatric vaccines routinely administered in the US. Safety Objective: To describe the safety profile of two doses of Menactra® Vaccine. Read Less

To provide serum to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use by FDA, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the World Health Organization (WHO) for characterization of circulating influenza strains. Observational Objectives: To describe the safety of the 2005-2006 pediatric formulation of Fluzone vaccine, given in the two-dose schedule in accordance with the Package Insert, in children aged ≥ 6 months to \< 36 months. To describe the immunogenicity of the 2005-2006 pediatric formulation of Fluzone vaccine, administered in a two-dose schedule in accordance with the Package Insert, in children aged ≥ 6 months to \< 36 months.

To describe the safety during Days 0 to 21 following injection of the 2005-2006 formulation of the inactivated, split-virion influenza vaccine Fluzone in subjects aged 18-59 years and subjects aged ≥ 60 years. To describe the immune response (antibodies to hemagglutinin) 21 days following injection of the 2005-2006 formulation of the inactivated, split-virion influenza vaccine Fluzone, in subjects aged 18-59 years and subjects aged ≥ 60 years. To submit remaining available sera to the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) for further analysis by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) to support selection and recommendation of antigen strains for subsequent influenza vaccines.

Primary Objective: To provide the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) with sera collected from healthy children receiving the 2008-2009 formulation of the inactivated, split-virion influenza vaccine Fluzone® for further study. Observational Objectives: To describe the safety of the 2008-2009 pediatric formulation of Fluzone® vaccine, administered in a one- or two-dose schedule in accordance with Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommendations, in children ≥ 6 months to \< 5 years of age. To describe the immunogenicity of the 2008-2009 pediatric formulation of Fluzone® vaccine, administered in a one- or two-dose schedule in accordance with ACIP recommendations, in children ≥ 6 months to \< 5 years of age.

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 present study is the first study designed to evaluate safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of the cell culture-derived influenza vaccine in healthy children and adolescents aged 3 to 17 years. A step-down approach is utilized in which reactogenicity and safety will be assessed in children and adolescents 9 to 17 years of age (Cohort 1) prior to enrolling additional children and adolescents 9 to 17 years of age (Cohort 2) and children 3 to 8 years of age (Cohort 3).
