Safety and tolerability of a 2009 trivalent inactivated split-virion influenza vaccine in infants, children and adolescents.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the safety of CSL's split-virion inactivated trivalent 2009 Southern Hemisphere formulation influenza vaccine (TIV) in children. METHODS:We enrolled 1992 healthy children into three groups: Cohorts A, ? 6 months to <3 years; B, ? 3 years to <9 years; and C, ? 9 years to <18 years. Children received one or two doses of 0.25 ml (22.5 ?g haemagglutinin) or 0.5 ml (45 ?g) TIV, depending on age and prior vaccination history. We collected post-vaccination solicited adverse event (AE) data (days 0-6), including fever (temperature: ? 37.5°C axilla, ? 38.0°C oral), unsolicited AEs (days 0-29) and serious AEs (SAEs) and new-onset chronic illnesses (NOCIs; to day 180 after last vaccination). RESULTS:At least one solicited AE was reported by 80%/78%/78% of children in Cohorts A, B and C, respectively. Systemic AEs were more common among Cohort A (72% of participants), and local AEs were more common among Cohort C (71% of participants). Fever was more common in younger cohorts, in influenza vaccine-naïve children (29% of Cohort A receiving their first dose), and following first compared with second doses. Severe fever following a first dose prevented 20 participants receiving their second scheduled vaccine dose. A 7-month-old participant had a single uncomplicated febrile convulsion on the day of vaccination. CONCLUSIONS:Nearly 80% of subjects reported at least one solicited AE following immunization. Fever prevalence was highest in vaccine-naïve Cohort A participants, similar to other paediatric studies using CSL vaccine. Further research to understand fever-related AEs in children following CSL's TIV is recommended.

Project description:ObjectivesTo assess the safety of an AS03-adjuvanted split virion H1N1 (2009) vaccine (Pandemrix) in persons vaccinated during the national pandemic influenza vaccination campaign in the UK.DesignProspective, cohort, observational, postauthorisation safety study.Setting87 general practices forming part of the Medical Research Council General Practice Research Framework and widely distributed throughout England.ParticipantsA cohort of 9143 individuals aged 7 months to 97 years who received at least one dose of the AS03-adjuvanted H1N1 pandemic vaccine during the national pandemic influenza vaccination campaign in the UK was enrolled. 94% completed the 6-month follow-up. Exclusion criteria were previous vaccination with other H1N1 pandemic vaccine and any child in care.Primary and secondary outcome measuresMedically attended adverse events (MAEs) occurring within 31 days after any dose, serious adverse events (SAEs) and adverse events of special interest (AESIs) following vaccination were collected for all participants. Solicited adverse events (AEs) were assessed in a subset of participants.ResultsMAEs were reported in 1219 participants and SAEs in 113 participants during the 31-day postvaccination period. The most frequently reported MAEs and SAEs were consistent with events expected to be reported during the winter season in this population: lower respiratory tract infections, asthma and pneumonia. The most commonly reported solicited AEs were irritability in young children aged <5 years (61.8%), muscle aches in children aged 5-17 years (61.9%) and adults (46.9%). 18 AESIs, experienced by 14 patients, met the criteria to be considered for the observed-to-expected analyses. AESIs above the expected number were neuritis (1 case within 31 days) and convulsions (8 cases within 181 days). There were 41 deaths during the 181-day period after vaccination, fewer than expected.ConclusionsResults indicate that the AS03-adjuvanted H1N1 pandemic vaccine showed a clinically acceptable reactogenicity and safety profile in all age and risk groups studied.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov, NCT00996853.

Project description:BackgroundThe European Medicines Agency (EMA) requires enhanced safety surveillance to be conducted for annual seasonal influenza vaccines with the aim of rapidly detecting any potential new safety concerns before the peak immunisation period of the vaccine in any given year. The aim of this study was to detect any clinically significant change in the frequency or severity of expected reactogenicity of the quadrivalent inactivated split-virion influenza vaccine (IIV4) during routine immunisation in Finland for the 2020/21 season. The primary objective was to investigate the frequency of suspected adverse drug reactions (ADRs) occurring within 7 days following vaccination.MethodsEnhanced passive safety surveillance of individuals vaccinated with IIV4 was conducted from October 9, 2020 to November 30, 2020 across seven sites in Finland. The vaccinee reporting rate and ADR reporting rate were calculated and compared with known or expected safety data in order to identify any clinically significant changes.ResultsData were collected from 1008 individuals with 29 vaccinees reporting 82 suspected ADRs. Of these, 28 people reported 79 suspected ADRs within 7 days following vaccination, corresponding to a vaccinee reporting rate of 2.78% (95% CI: 1.85, 3.99) (ADR reporting rate, 7.84% [95% CI: 6.25, 9.67%]). The most frequently reported ADRs were injection site reactions (vaccination site pain, vaccination site erythema and vaccination site swelling) (n = 46, 2.28%), myalgia (n = 9, 0.89%) and headache (n = 8, 0.79%). No serious suspected adverse events were reported at any point post-vaccination and ADR reporting rates were in general lower compared to those reported for IIV4 in the 2019/20 surveillance study.ConclusionNo clinically significant changes in what is known or expected for IIV4 were reported for the 2020/21 season which supports the safety profile of this vaccine and will help maintain public confidence in influenza vaccination.
