Quadrivalent influenza vaccines (QIVs) provide protection against the two influenza A viruses (H1N1 and H3N2) and both co-circulating influenza B lineages. QIVs have been found safe, immunogenic, and efficacious in several phase III clinical trials. Here we assess the safety of QIV after vaccination in Vietnamese infants, children, and adults.

Trivalent inactivated influenza vaccines (IIV3s) are safe and effective during pregnancy, but quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccines (IIV4s) have not been evaluated in pregnant women and their infants. Here, we report the results of a randomized phase IV study to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of IIV4 vs.

Since 2013, Sanofi Pasteur's facilities in Shenzhen, China have produced a trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (Shz-IIV3) for each influenza season according to Chinese pharmacopeia requirements. However, the immunogenicity of Shz-IIV3 has not been compared to existing Chinese trivalent inactivated influenza vaccines (IIV3s).

Here, we describe the results of an open-label, post-licensure trial (WHO Universal Trial Number, U1111-1143-9256) to confirm the immunogenicity and safety of the Southern Hemisphere 2015 formulation of IIV4. Adults 18-60 years of age and > 60 years of age (n = 60 per age group) received a single 0.

Here, we describe an observer-blind, randomized, controlled, multicenter trial study evaluating the immunogenicity and safety of the Northern Hemisphere 2015-2016 formulations of IIV4 and the licensed split-virion trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV3) in the Republic of Korea (ClinicalTrials.gov no.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA split-virion trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine produced according to the Chinese pharmacopeia (Shz-IIV3) has been commercially available in China since 2014. Here, we describe the results of a phase IV open-label trial to describe the immunogenicity and safety of the 2014-2015 Northern Hemisphere formulation of Shz-IIV3 in individuals ≥ 6 months of age. Subjects 6-35 months of age received 2 half-doses of Shz-IIV3 (0.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFSeasonal influenza vaccine formulations must be updated annually to correspond to the influenza viruses in circulation. This was an uncontrolled, open-label, multi-center phase IV study conducted in Belgium to comply with interim European Medicines Agency (EMA) guidelines for rapidly evaluating the safety of newly formulated seasonal influenza vaccines. Adult volunteers received one dose of the 2014-2015 Northern Hemisphere formulation of licensed intradermal trivalent influenza vaccine at either the standard dose (9µg hemagglutinin/strain for 18-59 year-olds) or the high dose (15µg hemagglutinin/strain for ≥ 60 year-olds).
