The study is to compare the 2 Groups with respect to antibody responses to inactivated influenza vaccine.
Observational Objectives:
- To describe the percentage of participants with protective Hemagglutinin (HAI) antibody titers to each of the 3 vaccine antigens in both study groups following each vaccination.
- To describe the HAI geometric mean titer (GMTs) to each of the 3 vaccine antigens in both study groups following each vaccination.
- To describe the safety of the 2005-2006 pediatric formulation of Fluzone® vaccine in both study groups.

|
Biological: Influenza Virus Vaccine
0.25 mL, Intramuscular
Other Name: Fluzone® 2005-2006 Pediatric Formulation |

- Summary of Influenza Seroprotection Post-vaccination With Fluzone® Vaccine. [ Time Frame: Day 28 Post-vaccination ]Seroprotection was defined as a Reciprocal Hemagglutination Inhibition Titers of ≥ 40 Post-vaccination with Fluzone® Vaccine.
- Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) of Hemagglutination Inhibition Antibody Titers Post-Vaccination With Fluzone® Vaccine. [ Time Frame: Day 28 Post-vaccination ]Antibodies against Influenza virus in Fluzone® Vaccine determined by the Hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) assay method.
- Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) for Pertussis, Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Haemophilus Influenzae, Antigens Post-vaccination With Fluzone® Vaccine. [ Time Frame: Day 28 Post-vaccination ]
Antibodies against Pertussis, Tetanus, and Haemophilus influenzae antigens were determined by an indirect Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
Anti-diphtheria antibody response was measured by the Vero Cells - diphtheria toxin challenge method.
The serological determinations of total anti-PRP antibody was performed using a Farr-type radioimmunoassay.
- Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) for Polyribosylribitol Phosphate and Pneumococcal Antibodies After Concomitant Vaccination With Fluzone® Vaccine. [ Time Frame: Day 28 post-vaccination ]Human antibodies to Streptococcus pneumoniae (serotypes 4, 6B, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F, and 23F) were determined by an Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
- Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) for Polio Antibodies After Concomitant Vaccination With Fluzone® Vaccine. [ Time Frame: Day 28 post-vaccination ]Antibodies to polio viruses were measured by a serum neutralization assay.
- Percentage of Participants With Solicited Injection Site and Systemic Reactions Post-vaccination With Fluzone® Vaccine. [ Time Frame: Days 0 up to 7 post-vaccination ]Solicited injection site reactions: Tenderness, erythema and swelling. Solicited systemic reactions: Fever (temperature), vomiting, abnormal crying, drowsiness, loss of appetite, and irritability.
