Brief summary

Routine annual influenza vaccination is recommended for all persons aged≥6 months who do not have contraindications. For those aged 6 monthsthrough 8 years who have previously received ≥2 total doses of trivalent orquadrivalent influenza vaccine ≥4 weeks apart, they require only 1 dose ofinfluenza vaccine. For those who have not previously received ≥2 doses oftrivalent or quadrivalent influenza vaccine, they require 2 dose of influenzavaccine. but the evidence on how to select vaccine doses for quadrivalentinfluenza vaccine is limited in China. The study is a prospective, open-labelcomparison of the immunogenicity and reactogenicity of 1 versus 2 doses ofan inactivated quadrivalent influenza vaccine in subjects of 3-8 years old withdifferent history of influenza vaccination.

Detailed description

Subjects receive 2 dosed of quadrivalent influenza vaccine 4 weeks apart.Blood samples were obtained from children at 3 time points-before receiptof dose 1, 4 weeks after receipt of dose 1 and before dose 2, and 4 weeksafter dose 2. Hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) antibody titers to the A/H3N2,A/H1N1, and B antigens included in the vaccine were measured at each timepoint

Interventions

Subjects receive two doses of quadrivalent influenzavaccine administered 4 weeks apart by intramuscularinjection. Each 0.5-ml dosecontained 15 μg of hemagglutinin per strain.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
the 95% confidence interval (CI) lower limit for Seroconversion Rate (SCR) of Hemagglutination inhibition (HAI)antibodies against each virus strain after 2nd vaccination ≥40%day 28 after dose 2The lowest dilution used in the assay is 1/10. Seroconversion was defined as either a pre-vaccination HAI titer \< 1:10and a post-vaccination titer ≥1:40 or a pre-vaccination titer ≥1:10 and ≥ four-fold increase in post-vaccination titer.
Number of participants with Adverse Reactions (ARs)28 days after each vaccinationFrequency and severity of ARs for 28 days after each vaccination

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Geometric Mean Fold Increase (GMFI) of HAI titer against each virus strain after 2nd vaccination>2.5day 28 after dose 2Hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) titers were used to calculate post-vaccination geometric mean fold increase (GMFI)against each virus strain
the 95% CI lower limit for seroprotection rates of HAI antibodies against each virus strain after 2nd vaccination≥70%day 28 after dose 2A seroprotected subject is defined as a vaccinated subject with serum HAI titer≥ 1:40.
Number of participants with Adverse Events (AEs)28 days after each vaccinationFrequency and severity of AEs for 28 days after each vaccination
Number of participants with Serious Adverse Events (SAE)6 months after the last vaccinationFrequency of SAEs for 6 months after the last vaccination

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
Comparision between seroprotection rates of HAI antibodies against each virus strain post dose 1 and dose 2day 28 after receipt of dose 1 and before dose 2, and day 28 after dose 2A seroprotected subject is defined as a vaccinated subject with serum HAI titer≥ 1:40.
Comparision between Geometric Mean Fold Increase (GMFI) of HAI antibodies against each virus strain post dose 1and dose 2day 28 after receipt of dose 1 and before dose 2, and day 28 after dose 2
Comparision between Geometric Mean Titre (GMT) of HAI antibodies against each virus strain post dose 1 and dose 2day 28 after receipt of dose 1 and before dose 2, and day 28 after dose 2
Comparision between Seroconversion Rate (SCR) of HAI antibodies against each virus strain post dose 1 and dose 2day 28 after receipt of dose 1 and before dose 2, and day 28 after dose 2The lowest dilution used in the assay is 1/10. Seroconversion was defined as either a pre-vaccination HAI titer \< 1:10and a post-vaccination titer ≥1:40 or a pre-vaccination titer ≥1:10 and ≥ four-fold increase in post-vaccination titer.
