[h=3]Abstract[/h] [h=4]BACKGROUND:[/h] This descriptive, non-comparative, phase III study evaluated the safety and tolerability of cell culture-derived (TIVc) and egg-derived (TIV) seasonal influenza vaccines in children at-risk of influenza-related complications.
[h=4]METHODS:[/h] 430 subjects were randomized 2:1 to TIVc or TIV. Subjects aged 3 to <9 years received one dose (if previously vaccinated, n=89) or two doses (if not previously vaccinated, n=124) of the study vaccines; the 9- to <18-year olds (n=213) received one dose. Reactogenicity was assessed for 7 days after vaccination; safety was monitored for 6 months.
[h=4]RESULTS:[/h] After any vaccination, the most frequently reported solicited local adverse event (AE) was tenderness/pain (TIVc [44%, 66%, 53%] and TIV [56%, 51%, 65%] in 3 to <6, 6 to <9, and 9- to <18-year olds, respectively) and the systemic AE was irritability (22% TIVc, 24% TIV) in 3- to <6-year olds and headache in 6- to <9-year olds (20% TIVc, 13% TIV) and 9- to <18-year olds (21% TIVc, 26% TIV). There were no cases of severe fever (≥40?C). No vaccine-related serious AEs were noted. New onset of chronic diseases was reported in ≤1% of subjects.
[h=4]CONCLUSION:[/h] TIVc and TIV had acceptable tolerability and similar safety profiles in at-risk children (NCT01998477).
