About this study

In this study Influenza vaccine GSK1562902A is the primary study vaccine and Havrix™ will be administered as the active comparator and not co-administered along with the study vaccine.Therefore, there exist no relation between the vaccines administered in this study. As the study will be carried out in Philippines, Havrix™ vaccine will be used as an active comparator instead of saline placebo to offer an advantage to the subjects.
