Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
To demonstrate the superior relative effectiveness of QIV-HD as compared to QIV-SD among persons 65 years of age and older for the prevention of cardiovascular and/or respiratory hospitalizations.
Secondary Objective:
* To assess the clinical relative effectiveness of QIV-HD as compared to QIV-SD in prevention of:
* inpatient hospitalization for selected circulatory and respiratory causes
* death, either all-cause or cardiovascular or respiratory causes
* inpatient hospitalization (using primary and secondary discharge diagnoses)
* inpatient hospitalization (using admission diagnoses)
* hospital emergency room visits
* primary care visits to physician or
* major acute cardiovascular events (MACE)
* To assess the characteristics of inpatient hospitalization or hospital emergency room visits or primary care visits to physician by QIV-HD and QIV-SD groups.
* To describe the clinical relative effectiveness of QIV-HD as compared to QIV-SD:
* by age group and by group with specific comorbidities
* for different periods of observation
* To describe all serious adverse events (SAEs) (including adverse event of special interest \[AESIs\]) for all subjects in both QIV-HD and QIV-SD groups.
