Primary outcomes

  1. Titers of Serum Haemagglutination-inhibition (HI) Antibodies Against Each of the 3 Influenza Strains Assessed.

    Time frame: At Day 0 and at Day 21.

    Influenza strains assessed were the A/New Caledonia (A/CAL), A/Wisconsin (A/WIS), B/Malaysia (B/MAL) strains. Titers were presented as geometric mean titers (GMTs) calculated on subjects with available results, and expressed in haemagglutination-inhibition unit (HIU), e. g. the dilution of a serum haemagglutination-inhibition containing the specific antibody each of the assessed influenza strains at which the solution retained the minimum level of activity needed to neutralize or precipitate the corresponding influenzae antigen. The seropositivity cut-off value of the assay was 10 HIU.

  2. Number of Seroprotected Subjects Against Each of the 3 Influenza Strains Assessed.

    Time frame: At Day 0 and at Day 21.

    A seroprotected subject was a subject whose antibody titer against each of the influenza strains assessed (A/New Caledonia (A/CAL), A/Wisconsin (A/WIS) and B/Malaysia (B/MAL) strains) was equal to or higher than (>=) the assay seroprotection cut-off value of 40 haemagglutination-inhibition units (HIU) (e. g. the dilution of a serum haemagglutination-inhibition containing the specific antibody each of the assessed influenza strains at which the solution retained the minimum level of activity needed to neutralize or precipitate the corresponding influenzae antigen).

  3. Number of Seroconverted Subjects Against Each of the 3 Influenza Strains Assessed

    Time frame: At Day 21.

    Influenza strains assessed were the A/New Caledonia (A/CAL), A/Wisconsin (A/WIS), and B/Malaysia (B/MAL) strains. A seroconverted subject was a subject who had either a pre-vaccination serum HI antibody titer lower than 10 haemagglutination-inhibition units (HIU) (e. g. the dilution of a serum haemagglutination-inhibition containing the specific antibody each of the assessed influenza strains at which the solution retained the minimum level of activity needed to neutralize or precipitate the corresponding influenzae antigen) and a post-vaccination titer higher than or equal to 40 HIU, or a pre-vaccination titer >= 10 and at least a four-fold increase in post- vaccination titer.

  4. Seroconversion Factor Against Each of the 3 Influenza Strains Assessed.

    Time frame: At Day 21.

    Influenza strains assessed were the A/New Caledonia (A/CAL), A/Wisconsin (A/WIS), and B/Malaysia (B/MAL) strains. The seroconversion factor (SCF) was defined as a ratio, as the fold increase in serum haemagglutination-inhibition geometric mean titers (GMTs) post-vaccination compared to Day 0 (with GMTs in the above calculation expressed in haemagglutination-inhibition units (HIU) [e. g. the dilution of a serum haemagglutination-inhibition containing the specific antibody each of the assessed influenza strains at which the solution retained the minimum level of activity needed to neutralize or precipitate the corresponding influenza antigen]).

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of Subjects With Any and Grade 3 Solicited Local Symptoms

    Time frame: Within the 7-day follow-up period (Days 0-6) after vaccination

    Assessed solicited local symptoms were ecchymosis, pain, redness and swelling the site of injection. Any = occurrence of a solicited local symptom regardless of intensity grade. Grade 3 pain = Pain which prevented normal activity. Grade 3 ecchymosis/redness/swelling = ecchymosis/redness/swelling at injection site with a diameter larger than (>) 50 millimeters (mm). All solicited local symptoms assessed were considered by the investigator as causally related to the study vaccination.

  2. Number of Subjects With Any, Grade 3 and Related Solicited General Symptoms

    Time frame: Within the 7-day follow-up period (Days 0-6) after vaccination

    Assessed solicited general symptoms were arthralgia, fatigue, fever (axillary temperature higher than or equal to (>=) 37.5 degrees Celsius (°C)), headache, muscle aches, and shivering. Any = Occurrence of a particular symptom regardless of intensity or relationship to vaccination. Grade 3 symptom = Symptom which prevented normal activity. Related = Symptom assessed by the investigator as causally related to the study vaccination. Grade 3 fever = axillary temperature higher than 39.0°C.

  3. Number of Subjects With Any, Grade 3 and Related Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs)

    Time frame: Within the 30-day follow-up period (Days 0-29) after vaccination

    An unsolicited AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject, temporally associated with use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. Any AE = any occurrence of an AE, regardless of intensity or relationship to study vaccination. Grade 3 = an event that prevented normal activity. Related = event assessed by the investigator as causally related to the study vaccination.

  4. Number of Subjects With Any and Related Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    Time frame: From study start to study end, from Day 0 to Day 30

    SAEs assessed include medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, result in disability/incapacity or are a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study subject. Any SAE = any occurrence of an SAE, regardless of relationship to study vaccination. A related SAE = an SAE assessed by the investigator as causally related to the study vaccination.
