A Clinical Trial of Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine in Children Aged 3-8 Years Old

An Exploratory Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Immunogenicity and Safety of One vs Two Doses of Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine in Children Aged 3-8 Years Old

This is an open-label, randomized and controlled phase Ⅳ clinical trial of quadrivalent influenza vaccine manufactured by Sinovac Biotech Co. , the purpose of this study is to compare the immunogenicity and safety after 1 dose of quadrivalent influenza vaccine with that of 2 doses in vaccine-unprimed children aged 3-8 years old,to compare the immunogenicity and safety after 1 dose of quadrivalent influenza vaccine in vaccine-unprimed children aged 3-8 years old with that of 1 dose in vaccine-primed children and to compare the immunogenicity and safety after 2 doses of quadrivalent influenza vaccine in vaccine-unprimed children aged 3-8 years old with that of 1 dose in vaccine-primed children.
