- Number of Participants With Antibody Titers ≥ 10 1/Dilution (1/Dil) Against A/California (H1N1 Vaccine) Strain - Age 18 to 64 Years [ Time Frame: Pre-vaccination (Day 0) and day 21 post-vaccination ]Pre-vaccination and post-vaccination antibody titers were determined by the hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) test.
- Number of Participants With Antibody Titers ≥ 40 1/Dilution (1/Dil) Against A/California (H1N1 Vaccine) Strain - Age 18 to 64 Years [ Time Frame: Pre-vaccination (Day 0) and Day 21 post-vaccination ]Seroprotection: Antibody titer ≥ 40 1/dil. Antibody titers were determined by the hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) test.
- Geometric Mean Titers (GMT) of Antibodies Against A/California (H1N1 Vaccine) Strain - Age 18 to 64 Years [ Time Frame: Pre-vaccination (Day 0) and 21 days post-vaccination ]Pre-vaccination and post-vaccination antibody titers were determined by the hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) test.
- Number of Participants With Antibody Titers ≥ 10 1/Dilution (1/Dil) Against A/California (H1N1) Strain - Age ≥ 65 Years [ Time Frame: Pre-vaccination (Day 0) and 21 days post-vaccination ]Pre-vaccination and post-vaccination antibody titers were determined by the hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) test.

Antibody titers were determined by the hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) test.
- Geometric Mean Titers (GMT) of Antibodies Against A/California (H1N1 Vaccine) Strain - Age ≥ 65 Years [ Time Frame: Pre-vaccination (Day 0) and 21 days post-vaccination ]Pre-vaccination and post-vaccination antibody titers were determined by the hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) test.
- Number of Participants With At Least One Solicited Injection Site or Systemic Reaction - Age 18 to 64 Years [ Time Frame: Days 0 to 7 post-vaccination ]Solicited Injection Site Reactions: Pain, erythema (redness), swelling, induration (hardening), ecchymosis (bruising). Solicited systemic reactions: Fever (temperature), headache, malaise (feeling unwell), myalgia (muscle aches and pains), shivering (chills).
- Number of Participants With At Least One Solicited Injection Site or Systemic Reaction - Age ≥ 65 Years [ Time Frame: Days 0 to 7 post-vaccination ]Solicited Injection Site Reactions: Pain, erythema (redness), swelling, induration (hardening), ecchymosis (bruising).
