Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this research is to demonstrate immunologic equivalence of three consecutive production lots of the subunit influenza vaccine compared to egg-derived inactivated influenza vaccine in healthy subjects 18 to 49 years of ages. In addition, this study is to show how safe and well tolerated a conventional inactivated subunit influenza vaccine, licensed in many countries outside the United States, is compared to an inactivated influenza vaccine, licensed in the United States.
