Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to collect safety information on the use of Fluarix Tetra according to the approved PI, in Korea, over a period of 6 years from children greater than or equal to (≥)3 years of age and adults, and over a period of 4 years from children between 6 months and 35 months of age.
Detailed description
Adults and previously vaccinated children aged ≥6 months, a single dose of Fluarix Tetra will be administered. To previously unvaccinated children aged 6 months to less than (\<) 9 years, two doses will be administered with a second dose at least 4 weeks apart from the first one as per the local PI in Korea. Fluarix Tetra may be administered to pregnant women/lactating women as per PI, if there is a clear need. Pregnancy outcome (whether full-term or premature, information on the status of the mother and child) in vaccinated pregnant subjects will be followed-up at 6-8 weeks after delivery, if possible.
Interventions
Safety monitoring and evaluation: - Recording of all AEs during the study period using diary cards, follow-up contact via telephone or email. - Recording of SAEs throughout the study period for each subject.
