About

The aim of the study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the 2011-2012 formulation of Fluzone and Fluzone High-Dose vaccines in participants aged 65 years and older.

Objectives:

To describe the safety of Fluzone vaccine and Fluzone High-Dose vaccine among adults ≥ 65 years of age.
To describe the immunogenicity of Fluzone vaccine and Fluzone High-Dose vaccine among adults ≥ 65 years of age.

Full description

Historically, the annual safety and immunogenicity study of Fluzone vaccine has been conducted in the US in support of licenses held by sanofi pasteur in various countries.

Participants will be randomized to receive a dose of either Fluzone® or Fluzone® High-Dose vaccine and will be followed up for safety and immunogenicity. The duration of participation in the trial will be approximately 1 month.

Influenza vaccination in the 6 months preceding enrollment in the study.
Known systemic hypersensitivity to eggs, chicken proteins, latex, or any of the vaccine components, or a history of a life-threatening reaction to Fluzone or Fluzone High-Dose vaccine or to a vaccine containing any of the same substances (the complete list of vaccine components is included in the Investigator's Brochure and/or the package insert) .

Any condition that in the opinion of the Investigator would pose a health risk to the subject if enrolled or could interfere with the evaluation of the vaccine.
Personal history of Guillain-Barré syndrome.
Known or suspected congenital or acquired immunodeficiency; or receipt of immunosuppressive therapy, such as anti-cancer chemotherapy or radiation therapy, within the preceding 6 months; or long-term systemic corticosteroid therapy (prednisone or equivalent for more than 2 consecutive weeks within the past 3 months).
