Safety of a Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine (VaxigripTetra™) in Subjects Aged 6 Months and Older in Vietnam

The primary objective of this study is to describe the safety of the Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine (QIV). Safety is assessed throughout the study period, and includes solicited injection site and systemic reactions (Day 0 to Day 7 post-vaccination); unsolicited adverse events up to Day 28, and serious adverse events occurring throughout the study.

Study duration for previously unvaccinated participants aged 6 months to 8 years is approximately 56 days. Study duration for previously vaccinated participants aged 6 months to 8 years and any participant aged 9 years and older is approximately 28 days.
