Measure
Monovalent Influenza Virus Vaccine
Frozen monovalent vaccine containing the new strain was supplied in intranasal sprayers containing a total volume of 0.2 mL of sucrose phosphate/concentrated gelatin-arginine-glutamate buffer, egg allantoic fluid, and approximately 10\^7 fluorescent focus units of influenza virus type A/Perth/16/2009 (H3N2) virus. A single dose of investigational product was administered on Day 1.
Placebo
Placebo was supplied in intranasal sprayers containing 0.2 mL of sucrose phosphate/concentrated gelatin-arginine-glutamate buffer. A single dose of investigational product was administered on Day 1.

An adverse event (AE) was defined as: Any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product.

Population: All subjects who received a single dose of investigational product (monovalent vaccine = 240; placebo = 60)

SAEs were those that resulted in death; were life-threatening; resulted in inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; resulted in persistent or significant disability or incapacity; were a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a study participant; or were a medical event that may have jeopardized the subject and may have required medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above. An NOCD was a newly diagnosed medical condition of a chronic, ongoing nature and assessed by the investigator as medically significant.
