Fluarix Dose A Group
Subjects were administered 1 or 2 doses\* of Fluarix vaccine (at Day 0 or at Days 0 and 28) intramuscularly, in the non-dominant upper arm (children \>12 months of age) or in the anterolateral thigh (children \<12 months of age). \* Only those subjects who had no history of prior influenza vaccination (i.e. unprimed subjects) received 2 doses.
Fluarix Dose B Group
Subjects were administered 1 or 2 doses\*, half the volume of dose A, of Fluarix vaccine (at Day 0 or at Days 0 and 28) intramuscularly, in the non-dominant upper arm (children \>12 months of age) or in the anterolateral thigh (children \<12 months of age). \* Only those subjects who had no history of prior influenza vaccination (i.e. unprimed subjects) received 2 doses.
Fluzone Group
Subjects were administered 1 or 2 doses\* of Fluzone vaccine (at Day 0 or at Days 0 and 28) intramuscularly, in the non-dominant upper arm (children \>12 months of age) or in the anterolateral thigh (children \<12 months of age). \* Only those subjects who had no history of prior influenza vaccination (i.e. unprimed subjects) received 2 doses.
