Brief Summary

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

This pilot study, to be conducted in the 2017/2018 influenza season, is a safety surveillance study using passive surveillance enhanced with a reporting card system to report adverse events of interest (AEIs) after Flu vaccination.

Detailed Description

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

This is the third pilot study following, EPI-FLU-045 VS UK \[NCT02567721\] and EPI-FLU-046 VS UK \[NCT02893878\] studies, carried out in the 2 previous influenza seasons (2015/2016 and 2016/2017). This study will collect data about vaccination status and adverse events following influenza immunisation (AEFI) on a weekly basis, from 01 September 2017 onwards, using a customized Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR) Cards and data from Electronic Health Records system for a period of approximately 13 weeks.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Vaccinated_Fluarix Tetra Group

Volunteered subjects who received GlaxoSmithKline's (GSK's) influenza vaccination (Fluarix Tetra) in 10 volunteer GP practices between 01 September and 30 November 2017.

Enhanced vaccine safety surveillance

Intervention Type OTHER

Routinely collected primary care data from up to ten general practices to support passive surveillance. Additionally, this passive surveillance will be enhanced by the use of a customized card-based ADR reporting system.

Vaccinated_Non GSK Group

Volunteered subjects who received non-GSK influenza vaccination in 10 volunteer GP practices between 01 September and 30 November 2017.

Enhanced vaccine safety surveillance

Intervention Type OTHER

Routinely collected primary care data from up to ten general practices to support passive surveillance. Additionally, this passive surveillance will be enhanced by the use of a customized card-based ADR reporting system.

Vaccinated_Unknown Group

Volunteered subjects who received influenza vaccination (GSK or non-GSK not known) in 10 volunteer GP practices between 01 September and 30 November 2017.

Enhanced vaccine safety surveillance

Intervention Type OTHER

Routinely collected primary care data from up to ten general practices to support passive surveillance. Additionally, this passive surveillance will be enhanced by the use of a customized card-based ADR reporting system.
