| Main Objective: - Assess the immunogenicity of inactivated influenza vaccine (whole virion, Vero cell-derived) at Day 21 and Day 180 after vaccination. - Assess the safety of inactivated influenza vaccine (whole virion, Vero cell-derived) at Day 21 and Day 180 after vaccination;Secondary Objective: - Compare immune response among three different lots of inactivated influenza vaccine (whole virion, Vero cell-derived) at Day 21 and Day 180 after vaccination.;Primary end point(s): Primary Immunogenicity Endpoint: The primary immunogenicity endpoint is the number of subjects with seroprotective antibody titer (reciprocal hemagglutination inhibition [HI] antibody titer >/= 40) at Day 21. Primary Safety Endpoint: The primary safety endpoint is the number of subjects with an oral temperature of >/= 38° C within the first 48 hours after vaccination. | — |
