Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Percentage of Participants With Solicited Local and Systemic Reactions After Fluzone® Vaccination [ Time Frame: 0 to 3 days post-vaccination ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

    Solicited local reactions: Erythema (redness), Induration, Bruising, and Pain at the injection site.

    Solicited systemic events: Fever (temperature), Chills, Rash, Headache, Cough, Runny nose, Nausea, Vomiting, Diarrhea, Malaise, Myalgia, and Arthralgia


  • Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) of Hemagglutination Antibodies Pre- and Post-Vaccination With Fluzone® Vaccine [ Time Frame: Day 0 and Day 21 Post-Vaccination ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    GMTs and their 95% Confidence Intervals for each of the 3 antigens pre- and post-vaccination with Fluzone® 2004-2005 formulation.

  • Percentage of Participants With at Least 40 Serum Hemagglutination Inhibition Antibody Titers Post-Vaccination [ Time Frame: 21 Days post-vaccination ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Percentage of Participants With at Least a 4-Fold Increase in Serum Hemagglutination Inhibition Antibody Titers Post-Vaccination [ Time Frame: Day 21 post-vaccination ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Enrollment: 120
Study Start Date: August 2004
Study Completion Date: February 2006
Primary Completion Date: February 2006 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Fluzone® Vaccine Group - Age 18-59 Years
Participants aged 18 to 59 years at enrollment and received 1 dose of Fluzone® Vaccine
Biological: Fluzone®: Influenza virus vaccine 2004-2005 formulation
0.5 mL, Intramuscular
Other Name: Fluzone®
Experimental: Fluzone® Vaccine Group - Age ≥ 60 Years
Participants aged at least 60 years or older at enrollment and received 1 dose of Fluzone® Vaccine
Biological: Fluzone®: Influenza virus vaccine 2004-2005 formulation
0.5 mL, Intramuscular
Other Name: Fluzone®

Detailed Description:

The time of onset and duration of local and systemic solicited reactions will be assessed and reported. Unsolicited adverse events (including serious adverse events) will be collected and categorized throughout the study period.

Antibody levels will be evaluated by hemagglutination inhibition (HI) assay from sera obtained pre-vaccination (Day 0) and 21 days post-vaccination, for antigens from the 2004-2005 influenza virus strains: A/New Caledonia/20/99 (H1N1), A/Wyoming/03/2003 (H3N2), and B/Jiangsu/10/2003.
