  Purpose

The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of Fluzone vaccine (18 years to <65 years of age and ≥ 65 years of age), Fluzone Intradermal vaccine (18 years to <65 years of age), and Fluzone High-Dose vaccine (≥ 65 years of age).

Primary Objective:

  • To describe the safety of the 2012 - 2013 formulation of Fluzone and Fluzone Intradermal vaccines in adults 18 to < 65 years of age and the safety of the 2012 - 2013 formulation of Fluzone and Fluzone High-Dose vaccines in adults ≥ 65 years of age.

Observational Objectives:

  • To describe the immunogenicity of the 2012 - 2013 formulation of Fluzone and Fluzone Intradermal vaccines in adults 18 to < 65 years of age and the immunogenicity of the 2012 - 2013 formulation of Fluzone and Fluzone High-Dose vaccines in adults ≥ 65 years of age.
  • To evaluate the compliance, in terms of immunogenicity, of each study vaccine (Fluzone, Fluzone Intradermal, and Fluzone High-Dose) in the applicable age group with the requirements of the Committee for Human Medicinal Products (CHMP) Note for Guidance (NfG) CPMP/BWP/214/96.
  • To submit remaining available sera from subjects given Fluzone vaccine to the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) for further analysis by the World Health Organization (WHO), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to support selection and recommendation of strains for subsequent years' influenza vaccines.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Number of participants reporting solicited injection site and systemic events and unsolicited adverse events following vaccination with influenza virus vaccines. [ Time Frame: Day 0 (post-vaccination) up to 21 days post-vaccination ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Solicited injection site: Pain, Redness, Swelling, Induration, and Ecchymosis. Solicited Systemic reaction: Fever (Temperature), Headache, Malaise, Myalgia, and Shivering.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Information on the immune response to each of the influenza virus strains in the vaccine at 21 days post-vaccination. [ Time Frame: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and Day 21 post-vaccination ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Immunogenicity will be evaluated prior to vaccination and at 21 days after vaccination using the hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) technique. For each influenza vaccine strain, pre- and post-vaccination geometric mean titers (GMTs), seroprotection, and seroconversion will be calculated

Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of serious adverse reaction to any influenza vaccine
  • Receipt of any vaccine within 30 days before receiving study vaccine, or plans to receive another vaccine before Visit 2
  • Participation in another interventional clinical trial investigating a vaccine, drug, medical device, or medical procedure in the 30 days preceding the first study vaccination or during the course of the study, unless no intervention for the other study occurred within the 30 days prior to the first study vaccination and none are planned before the subject would complete safety surveillance for the present study

  • Receipt of immune globulins, blood, or blood-derived products in the past 3 months
  • Bleeding disorder or receipt of anticoagulants in the 3 weeks preceding inclusion, which may be a contraindication for intramuscular vaccination, at the discretion of the Investigator
  • Subject is pregnant, or lactating, or of childbearing potential (to be considered of non-childbearing potential, a female must be pre-menarche or post-menopausal for at least 1 year, surgically sterile, or using an effective method of contraception or abstinence from at least 4 weeks prior to vaccination and until at least 4 weeks after vaccination)
