Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Geometric Mean of Haemagglutination Inhibiting (HI) Antibodies Titers Against the Three Strains. [At Day 0 and 28 after last vaccine dose.]

    The three strains assessed were A/Brisbane/59/2007 (H1N1), A/Uruguay/716/2007 (H3N2) and B/Brisbane/60/2008. Titers were expressed as geometric mean antibody titers (GMTs).

  2. Number of Seroconverted Subjects for HI Antibodies Against the Three Strains. [At Day 28 after last vaccine dose.]

    The three strains assessed were A/Brisbane/59/2007 (H1N1), A/Uruguay/716/2007 (H3N2) and B/Brisbane/60/2008. Seroconversion was defined as the percentage of vaccinees that had either a pre-vaccination (Day 0) titer < 1:10 and a post-vaccination titer ≥ 1:40 or a pre-vaccination titer ≥ 1:10 and at least a four-fold increase in post-vaccination titer.

    The general symptoms solicited from study subjects younger than 5 years of age were drowsiness, irritability, loss of appetite, and fever(= axillary temperature equal to or above 38.0 degrees Celsius (°C)). Any = occurrence of any solicited general symptom regardless of intensity grade or relationship to vaccination. Grade 3 drowsiness, irritability = symptom that prevented normal activity. Grade 3 loss of appetite = not eating at all. Grade 3 temperature = axillary temperature ≥ 39.0°C and ≤ 40.0°C. Related = symptom assessed by the investigator as causally related to the vaccination.

  12. Number of Subjects Reporting Any, Severe (Grade 3) and Related to Vaccination Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs), by Age-strata. [During a 28 day follow-up period (Days 0-27) after vaccination.]

    Any adverse event (AE) reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study. Also any 'solicited' symptom with onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms was reported as an unsolicited adverse event. Subjects in each group were also stratified in the following age-strata: 3-4 years, 5-8 years and 9-17 years. Grade 3 = event that prevented normal activities. Related = event assessed by the investigator as causally related to the study vaccination.

  13. Number of Subjects Reporting Medically Attended Adverse Events (MAEs). [During the entire study period (From Day 0 up to Day 180).]

    For each solicited and unsolicited symptom the subject experiences, the subject/subject's parent(s)/ Legally Acceptable Representative (LAR(s)) was asked if they received medical attention defined as hospitalisation, an emergency room visit or a visit to or from medical personnel (medical doctor) for any reason.

  14. Number of Subjects Reporting Serious Adverse Events (SAEs). [During the entire study period (From Day 0 up to Day 180).]

    An SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject that: results in death, is lifethreatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or is a congenital anomaly/birth defect.
