Details and patient eligibility

About

A random, blind and positive control design was adopted.the investigators will assess the safety and immunogenicity of 2 doses of an quadrivalent influenza vaccine virus subunit in children aged 6 to 35 months.

A total of 2,772 subjects in the 6-35 month age group were randomly divided into experimental vaccine 1, experimental vaccine 2 and control vaccine groups at a ratio of 1:1:1, and received the corresponding vaccine respectively. 2 doses in the whole course, 28 days apart.

Safety observation: All subjects received 30 minutes of immediate response observation after each dose of vaccine and 0-7 days of systematic active safety observation; After 7 days of vaccination, the incidence of adverse events was observed by combining regular weekly follow-up with subject's voluntary report. Safety observation was conducted for 0-28/30 days after each dose of vaccine. Serious adverse events (SAE) were collected within 6 months after the first dose was administered.

Immunogenicity observation: Blood samples were collected before the first dose and 28 days after the full dose for influenza virus HI antibody detection.

Observation of immune persistence: Blood samples of 3 and 6 months after immunity were collected for influenza virus HI antibody detection.

Enrollment: 2,772 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 6 to 35 months old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers
