- Number Of Subjects Reporting Solicited Local and Systemic Adverse Events and Other Indicators Of Reactogenicity After Any Vaccination. [ Time Frame: Day 1 to Day 7 after any vaccination ]Safety was assessed as the number of subjects who reported solicited local and systemic adverse events and other indicators of reactogenicity following two doses of either mammalian cell culture-derived or egg-derived trivalent influenza vaccination in subjects aged ≥4 To ≤17 Years.
- Number Of Subjects Reporting Unsolicited Adverse Events After Any Vaccination. [ Time Frame: Day 1 to Day49 for subjects aged ≥4 To ≤8 years not previously vaccinated. Day 1 to Day 38 for subjects aged ≥4 To ≤8 years previously vaccinated and all subjects aged ≥9 To ≤17 years. ]Safety was assessed as the number of subjects who reported unsolicited adverse events following vaccination with either mammalian cell culture-derived or egg-derived trivalent influenza vaccination in subjects aged ≥4 To ≤17 Years.
- Number Of Subjects Reporting Unsolicited Serious Adverse Events After Any Vaccination. [ Time Frame: Day 1 to Day 183 for previously vaccinated subjects and Day 213 for not-previously vaccinated subjects ]Safety was assessed as the number of subjects who reported serious adverse events (SAEs), medically attended AEs and new onset of chronic diseases (NOCD) in subjects aged ≥4 To ≤17 Years.
