Inclusion criteria

All subjects must satisfy ALL the following criteria at study entry:

  • Subjects who the investigator believes that parent(s)/Legally Acceptable Representative(s) [LAR(s)] can and will comply with the requirements of the protocol.
  • Children, male or female between, and including, 6 and 35 months of age at the time of the first vaccination.
  • Written informed consent obtained from the parent(s)/LAR(s) of the subject.
  • Healthy subjects as established by medical history and clinical examination before entering into the study.
  • Age appropriate scheduled childhood vaccinations completed to the best of parent(s)/LAR(s) knowledge.

Exclusion criteria

The following criteria should be checked at the time of study entry. If ANY exclusion criterion applies, the subject must not be included in the study:

  • Child in care
  • Use of any investigational or non-registered product (drug or vaccine) other than the study vaccine(s) within 30 days preceding the first dose of study vaccine, or planned use during the study period.
  • Prior receipt of any influenza vaccination (seasonal or pandemic) or planned administration during the study period.
  • Planned administration of any vaccine 30 days prior and 30 days after any study vaccine administration.
  • Chronic administration (defined as more than 14 days in total) of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs within six months prior to the first vaccine dose. For corticosteroids, this will mean prednisone >0.5 mg/kg of body weight, or equivalent. Inhaled and topical steroids are allowed.
  • Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition, based on medical history and physical examination (no laboratory testing required).
  • A family history of congenital or hereditary immunodeficiency.
  • Any known or suspected allergy to any constituent of influenza or routine paediatric vaccines, a history of severe adverse reaction to any previous vaccination; or a history of anaphylactic-type reaction to consumption of egg proteins.
  • History of any neurological disorders or seizures (including febrile convulsion).
  • Acute or chronic, clinically-significant pulmonary, cardiovascular, hepatic or renal functional abnormality, as determined by medical history or physical examination.
  • Acute disease and/or fever at the time of enrolment:
  • Fever is defined as temperature >= 37.5°C on oral, axillary or tympanic setting, or >=38.0°C on rectal setting.
  • Subjects with a minor illness (such as mild diarrhoea, mild upper respiratory infection) without fever might be enrolled at the discretion of the investigator.
  • Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products within the 3 month preceding the first dose of study vaccine or planned administration during the study period.
  • Any condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, render the subject unfit for participation in the study.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Haemagglutination Inhibition (HI) Antibody Titers

    Time frame: At Day 0 and Day 42

    Antibody titers were expressed as Geometric mean titers (GMTs). The vaccine strains included Flu A/CAL/7/09 H1N1, Flu A/Uru/716/07 H3N2 and FluB/Bri/60/08 Victoria antigens.

  2. The Number of Subjects Seropositive to HI Antibodies

    Time frame: At Day 0 and Day 42

  3. The Number of Subjects Seroprotected to HI Antibodies

    Time frame: At Day 0 and Day 42

    A seroprotected subject was defined as a subject with a serum HI titre greater than or equal to 1:40 that usually is accepted as indicating protection. The vaccine strains included Flu A/CAL/7/09 H1N1, Flu A/Uru/716/07 H3N2 and FluB/Bri/60/08 Victoria antigens.

  4. The Number of Subjects Seroconverted to HI Antibodies

    Time frame: Day 42

    A seroconverted subject was defined as a subject who had either a pre-vaccination titer below 1:10 and a post-vaccination titer greater than or equal to 1:40 or a pre-vaccination titer greater than or equal to 1:10 and at least a 4-fold increase in post-vaccination titer. The vaccine strains included Flu A/CAL/7/09 H1N1, Flu A/Uru/716/07 H3N2 and FluB/Bri/60/08 Victoria antigens.

  5. HI Antibody Geometric Mean Fold Rise (GMFR)

    Time frame: Day 42

    GMFR was defined as the fold increase in serum HI GMTs post-vaccination compared to pre-vaccination. The vaccine strains included Flu A/CAL/7/09 H1N1, Flu A/Uru/716/07 H3N2 and FluB/Bri/60/08 Victoria antigens.

    For each solicited and unsolicited AE the subject experienced, the subject was asked if they had received medical attention defined as hospitalization, an emergency room visit or a visit to or from medical personnel (medical doctor) for any reason.
