Safe vaccination of children with a virosomal adjuvanted influenza vaccine.
K?nzi V, Dornseiff M, Horwath J, Hartmann K. - Crucell, Berna Biotech Ltd, Rehhagstrasse 79, 3018 Berne, Switzerland.
A post-marketing study was conducted in 26 paediatric practices in Germany to collect safety information on the virosomal adjuvanted influenza vaccine Inflexal((R)) V (in Germany marketed as Infectovac Flu((R))).
Children aged 6 months to 6 years received one or two doses.
Adverse events were documented by parents/legal guardians in a questionnaire for four days after vaccination.
The rates of adverse events were low: 14% of vaccine exposures were associated with systemic and 25% with local adverse events.
Most symptoms were mild to moderate and resolved within a few days.
Nearly 100% of parents/legal guardians would agree to have their child vaccinated again with Inflexal((R)) V.
Vaccination with Inflexal((R)) V was safe, well tolerated and highly accepted by parents/legal guardians.
