Scientific titleClinical trial of safety (reactogenicity) and immunogenicity of needle-free jet injection of reduced-dose, intradermal, Influenza vaccine (INF) administered to more than or equal to six month- to less than 24 month-old infants and toddlers in the Dominican Republic
Study objectivesIntradermal administration of a fraction (40%) of a dose of influenza vaccine with a needle-free injector induces a non-inferior immune response compared to intramuscular injection of a full dose, in infants and toddlers.
Ethics approval(s)Approval received from:
1. Dominican Republic: Local ethics committee (Consejo Nacional de Bioética en salud (CONABIOS Universidad Catolica Santo Domingo) on 27th June 2006
2. USA: Centres for Disease Control and prevention (CDC) Institutional Review Board on 23rd June 2006
3. Switzerland: World Health Organization Research Ethics Review Committee (WHO ERC) on 28th August 2006
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedInfluenza
InterventionAll volunteers are bled at day of first injection and receive:
Group 1: intramuscular injection with needle 0.25 mL influenza vaccine
Group 2: intramuscular injection with needle 0.1 mL influenza vaccine
Group 3: intradermal injection jet injector 0.1 mL influenza vaccine

All volunteers are bled 28 days after first injection and receive:
Group 1: intramuscular injection with needle 0.25 mL influenza vaccine
Group 2: intramuscular injection with needle 0.1 mL influenza vaccine
Group 3: intradermal injection jet injector 0.1 mL influenza vaccine

All volunteers bled 56 days afer first injection and receive:
Groups 2 and 3 (those who received only 0.1 mL doses) receive intramuscular injection of 0.25 mL influenza vaccine.
