Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Number of Participants With Reactogenicity (Solicited) Adverse Events (AEs)

    Solicited reactogenicity events included injection site pain, bruising, erythema and swelling. Solicited systemic AEs included fatigue, chills, arthralgias, myalgias, headache and nausea.

    Reactogenicity days 0-7 following immunization; other AEs days 0-28 following immunization

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Evaluation and Comparison of Immunogenicity of FluBlok and TIV in Healthy Adults 50-64 Years of Age.

    Day 0 and Day 28

  • Percentage of Participants With Seroconversion

    Day 28 following immunization at Day 0

  • Percentage of Participants With Seroprotection

    Day 28 following immunization at Day 0

Study Arms (2)

FluBlok
