| Main Objective: To assess the immune response to an H5N1 influenza vaccine in an adult and elderly population; To assess the safety and tolerability of an H5N1 influenza vaccine in an adult and elderly population; To assess the need for and timing of a booster vaccination. ;Secondary Objective: To evaluate the T-cell mediated immune response induced by an H5N1 influenza vaccine after the first, second and booster vaccinations.;Primary end point(s): Immunogenicity:· Number of subjects with antibody response to the vaccine strain (A/Vietnam/1203/2004) associated with protection 21 days after the second vaccination defined as titer measured by Microneutralization (MN) test greater or equal to 20. Please note that in response to CHMP Scientific Advice, SRH testing has now been inlcuded as a secondary endpoint. Safety:· Number of subjects with systemic reactions after the first vaccination. | — |
