A Phase III, Open-Label, Single-Dose Study to Evaluate the Safety and Immunogenicity of Fluviral® Vaccine - Full Text View

Purpose

Vaccination is currently the most effective means of controlling influenza and preventing its complications and mortality in persons at risk.

Once a year, a meeting of WHO experts takes place, leading to a recommendation on the influenza A and B strains that should be used for the production of vaccine for the coming influenza season.

This study is designed to test the safety/reactogenicity and the immunogenicity of the Fluviral Trivalent Split Virion Influenza Vaccine containing the influenza strains recommended for the 2007-2008 season.
