Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- GMT of the haemagglutination-inhibiting antibodies (HIA) and calculation of seroconversion factor, seroconversion rate and seroprotection rate checked against the CHMP criteria. The seroprotection power will be calculated as well. [On Day 21 (± 2) after vaccination]
- Descriptive comparison of the occurrence, severity and causal relationship to vaccination of solicited local and general symptoms [Within 4 days after vaccination]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Descriptive comparison of the occurrence and causal relationship to vaccination of unsolicited signs and symptoms [Within 30 days after vaccination]
- Descriptive comparison of the occurrence, severity and causal relationship to vaccination of any serious adverse events (SAEs) [During the entire study period.]
- Investigation of antibody persistence assessed by the criteria of the CHMP. [11, 19, 27 weeks after vaccination]

Healthy subjects who are capable of being vaccinated and subjects with primary diseases (cardiovascular conditions, metabolic conditions such as diabetes mellitus, respiratory diseases) who are capable of being vaccinated and aged over 18 years who want to be vaccinated against influenza or for whom the doctor considers prophylactic influenza immunisation to be indicated.
-
The inclusion of individuals who had not been immunised in the 2001/2002 season is preferred.
-
Written consent to vaccination must be available after the subjects have been briefed on the study in understandable language.
Exclusion Criteria:

Use of study or unlicensed medication or administration of a vaccine other than the study vaccine within 30 days preceding vaccination and/or during the study period
-
Acute disease at the beginning of the study
-
Acute clinically significant changes in the lungs, cardiovascular system, liver or kidney function, identified by physical examination or laboratory tests
-
Pregnancy
-
Women who would like to fall pregnant during the period from the day of vaccination to 1 month thereafter
