A Study of An Adjuvanted Inactivated H7N9 Influenza Vaccine

Immunogenicity and Safety of an Alum-adjuvanted Inactivated H7N9 Influenza Vaccine: a Randomized, Blind, Placebo-controlled, a Phase II Clinical Trial

The aim of this study is to investigate the immunogenicity and safety of the inactivated whole-virion vaccine for teenagers and adults.

The investigators will test the vaccine in participants aged above 12 years, for a randomized, blind, placebo-controlled, clinical study. The investigators designed one dosage groups: 15 μg of hemagglutinin antigen. Control group is designed to inoculate seasonal influence vaccine and aluminum hydroxide adjuvant. Participants will receive 2 doses of vaccine at 21-day intervals. Safety up to 6 months and changes in hemagglutinin inhibition (HI) titers at 21 days after each vaccination will be determined.
