Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Child in foster care, without legal tutor. 2. Planned administration of any influenza vaccine (other than the study vaccine) during the entire study period, according to the official immunization schedule. 3. Anaphylaxis known to the active ingredients or to any of the excipients included in the influenza vaccine data sheet or to any component that may be present in trace amounts, such as egg (ovalbumin, etc.). 4. Anaphylaxis known to the active ingredients or to any of the excipients included in the hepatitis A vaccine data sheet. 5. Any immunological disorder or medical condition that at the discretion of the pediatrician contraindicates vaccination against influenza or hepatitis A. 6.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To estimate the effectiveness of the inactivated flu vaccine with the number of episodes of acute respiratory infections, its severity and its complications in children with risk.; Secondary Objective: To estimate the effectiveness of the inactivated flu vaccine against the number of episodes of acute respiratory infections, its severity and its complications in children at risk by sex. To estimate the effectiveness of the inactivated flu vaccine against the number of flu infections confirmed by laboratory. To estimate the effectiveness of the inactivated flu vaccine against the number of episodes of acute respiratory infections with non-influenza virus isolation. To estimate the effectiveness of the inactivated flu vaccine against the number of episodes of acute respiratory infections with detection of respiratory viruses (influenza and not influenza). To analyze the consumption of resources in vaccinated and unvaccinated children with acute respiratory infections. ;Primary end point(s): To estimate the efficacy of the influenza vaccine against the number of episodes of acute respiratory infection, its severity and its complications in children at risk. These are chosen as measures of net health effects and to analyze whether the vaccine causes viral interference.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: After each flu season (2020 and 2021), for two consecutive seasons.
