The aim of the study is to generate data on key parameters associated with assessment of influenza vaccines in individuals 50-64 years of age
Primary Objective:
- To describe the immunogenicity of High-Dose Trivalent Inactivated Influenza Vaccine (TIV) compared to TIV.
- To describe the safety profile of High-Dose Trivalent Inactivated Influenza Vaccine, as assessed by solicited adverse reactions collected for 7 days post-vaccination, and unsolicited adverse events (including Serious Adverse Events and Adverse Events of Special Interests) collected between Visit 1 and Visit 2

- Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) of Vaccine Antibodies Before and After Vaccination With Either Fluzone® High-Dose or Fluzone® Vaccine. [ Time Frame: Day 0 and Day 28 post-vaccination ]Serum antibody titers to vaccine antigens were assessed by means of the hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) assay method.
- Geometric Mean of Individual Titer Ratios (GMTRs) of Vaccine Antibodies Before and After Vaccination With Either Fluzone® High-Dose or Fluzone® Vaccine [ Time Frame: Day 0 and Day 28 Post-vaccination ]Serum antibody titers to vaccine antigens were assessed by means of the hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) assay method.
- Percentage of Participants With Seroconversion After Vaccination With Either Fluzone® High-Dose or Fluzone® Vaccine [ Time Frame: Day 0 and Day 28 post-vaccination ]
Seroconversion: For participants with a Day 0 (pre-vaccination) titer < 10 (1/dilution [1/dil]) a titer ≥ 40 (1/dil), and for participants with a Day 0 titer ≥ 10 (1/dil) a ≥ 4 fold increase of titer on Day 28.
Serum antibody titers were assessed by means of the hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) assay method.
- Percentage of Participants With Seroprotection Before and After Vaccination With Either Fluzone® High-Dose or Fluzone® Vaccine [ Time Frame: Day 0 and Day 28 post vaccination ]Seroprotection was defined as a titer ≥ 40 (1/dilution [1/dil]). Serum antibody titers were assessed by means of the hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) assay method.
- Number of Participants Reporting Solicited Injection Site or Systemic Reactions After Vaccination With Either Fluzone® High-Dose or Fluzone® Vaccine [ Time Frame: Day 0 through Day 7 post-vaccination ]Solicited Injection Site Reactions: Pain, Erythema, Swelling, Ecchymosis, and Induration. Solicited Systemic Reactions: Fever, Headache, Malaise, Myalgia, and Shivering
