Primary outcomes

  1. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of one and two doses of investigational vaccines or active control influenza vaccine in unprimed healthy children aged 6 months to <36 months.

    Time frame: 211 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. To evaluate the immunogenicity of two doses of investigational influenza vaccine or active control influenza vaccines, as measured by HI assay in children aged 36 to <60 months.
