Brief Summary

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

Intradermal influenza vaccination may result in better efficacy when compare to intramuscular vaccination.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a prospective, randomized, single centre trial in the Queen Mary Hospital. We aim to recruit 400 subjects \[with a minimum of 50 subjects per group\] who would be qualified for the Hospital Authority (HA)/ Centre for Health Protection (CHP) Mass Vaccination Program for 2010/2011 TIV. These patients include all elderly at the age of 65 or above and all adult patients at the age of 21 or above with chronic illness (or healthcare workers). Subjects will be randomly assigned into 4 groups: Group 1 (ID1) to receive a single low-dose intradermal injection of 2010/2011 TIV, with a microneedle device. Group 2 (ID2) to receive a single higher low-dose intradermal injection of 2010/2011 TIV with a microneedle device. Group 3 (IM15) to receive a single full-dose (15ug) standard 2010/2011 TIV delivered intramuscularly by conventional needle. Group 4 (INT) to receive a single low-dose intradermal injection of 2010/2011 TIV, with Intanza® needle. The 2010/2011 TIV used will be Fluzone®, Sanofi-Pasteur for group 3 and Intanza®, Sanofi-Pasteur for group 1,2 and 4.
