Brief Summary

The objectives of this study are to assess the immune response as well as the safety and tolerability of an H5N1 influenza vaccine in an adult and elderly population. Further, the study will assess the need for a booster vaccination and whether a 6-month booster or a 12-month booster is more appropriate. An independent data safety monitoring board will review and evaluate the safety data obtained in this study on an ongoing basis.

• Agree to keep a daily record of symptoms,
• If female and capable of bearing children - have a negative urine pregnancy test result at study entry and agree to employ adequate birth control measures for the duration of the study.

Exclusion Criteria

Subjects will be excluded from participation in this study if they:

• Have a history of exposure to H5N1 virus or a history of vaccination with an H5N1 influenza vaccine,
• Are at high risk of contracting H5N1 influenza infection (e.g. poultry workers),

Such treatment includes, but is not limited to, systemic or high dose inhaled (>800µg/day of beclomethasone dipropionate or equivalent) corticosteroids, radiation treatment or other immunosuppressive or cytotoxic drugs,
• Have a history of severe allergic reactions or anaphylaxis,
• Have a rash, dermatologic condition or tattoos which may interfere with injection site reaction rating,
• Have received a blood transfusion or immunoglobulins within 90 days of study entry,

• Have a functional or surgical asplenia,
• Have a known or suspected problem with alcohol or drug abuse,
• Were administered an investigational drug within six weeks prior to study entry or are concurrently participating in a clinical study that includes the administration of an investigational product,
• Are a member of the team conducting this study or are in a dependent relationship with the study investigator. Dependent relationships include close relatives (i.e., children, partner/spouse, siblings, parents) as well as employees of the investigator,
