Actual (reported)Pneumonia is the leading cause of child death worldwide. Data from Bangladesh indicates that influenza has a substantial association with pneumonia among children less than two years old. This study will use commercially available trivalent inactivated vaccine (killed vaccine) to see if it can prevent early childhood pneumonia among children less than two years old. The study will vaccinate children across three seasons (3 years), and look at the effect on the attack rate of pneumonia, as well as its effects on laboratory-confirmed influenza. It will also look at the effect on laboratory-confirmed influenza illness among the non-vaccinated household contacts of all ages of these children.

Actual (reported)Clinical pneumonia
Children who present with age-specific tachypnoea, cough with crepitations on auscultation will be determined to have clinical pneumonia. If this occurs ≥14 days post two doses of influenza vaccine, they will be considered fully vaccinated. Comparisons will be made between groups on the number of such episodes.
Up to 12 months post-vaccination
Laboratory confirmed influenza infection
Influenza infection will be determined by RT-PCR among children with signs and symptoms of febrile and/or respiratory symptoms, including pneumonia.
Up to 12 months post-vaccination
Indirect effects
Up to 12 months post-vaccination
Epidemiological and clinical characteristics of influenza infection
Up to 12 months post vaccination
Effect on non-influenza viral and bacterial invasive disease
Up to 12 months post vaccination
