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.

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
