• Chronic administration of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs within three months prior to enrolment in this study or planned administration during the study period. For corticosteroids, this will mean prednisone >= 0.5 mg/kg/day, or equivalent. Inhaled and topical steroids are allowed.

• Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition, based on medical history and physical examination.

• History of allergic disease or reactions likely to be exacerbated by any component of the vaccines.

• History of any neurological disorders or seizures.

• Acute disease and/or fever at the time of enrolment:

• Fever is defined as temperature >= 37.5°C on oral, axillary or tympanic setting, or >= 38°C on rectal setting.

• Subjects with a minor illness (such as mild diarrhoea, mild upper respiratory infection) without fever may be enrolled at the discretion of the investigator.

• Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products within the three months prior to the enrolment in this study, or planned during the study.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Haemagglutination Inhibition (HI) Antibody Titers Against Vaccine H1N1 Antigen	Humoral immune response in terms of vaccine H1N1 haemagglutination inhibition (HI) antibodies against A/California/7/2009 (H1N1)v-like virus (Flu A/CAL/7/09) has been assessed. Antibody titers were presented as geometric mean titers (GMTs).	At Day 42
Primary	Number of Seropositive Subjects for HI Antibodies	A seropositive subject was defined as a subject with a serum HI titer equal to or above (=) 1:10. The flu strain assessed was Flu A/CAL/7/09.	At Day 42
Primary	Number of Seroconverted Subjects in Terms of HI Antibodies	Seroconversion (SCR) was defined as: For initially seronegative subjects [pre-vaccination titer below (<) 1:10], a post-vaccination titer = 1:40. For initially seropositive subjects (pre-vaccination titer = 1:10), at least a 4-fold increase in post-vaccination titer. The flu strain assessed was Flu A/CAL/7/09.	At Day 42
Primary	Number of Seroprotected Subjects for HI Antibodies	A seroprotected subject was defined as a vaccinated subject with a serum HI titer = 1:40, which is usually accepted as indicating protection. The flu strain assessed was Flu A/CAL/7/09.	At Day 42
Primary	Geometric Mean Fold Increase (GMFR) for Serum HI Antibody Titer	GMFR, also called seroconversion factor (SCF), was defined as the fold increase in serum HI geometric mean titers (GMTs) post-vaccination compared to pre-vaccination. The flu strain assessed was Flu A/CAL/7/09.	At Day 42
Secondary	Number of Seropositive Subjects for HI Antibodies	A seropositive subject was defined as a subject with a serum HI titer equal to or above (=) 1:10. The flu strain assessed was Flu A/CAL/7/09.	At Day 0, Day 21 and Month 7
Secondary	HI Antibody Titers Against Vaccine H1N1 Antigen	Humoral immune response in terms of vaccine H1N1 haemagglutination inhibition (HI) antibodies against A/California/7/2009 (H1N1)v-like virus (Flu A/CAL/7/09) has been assessed. Antibody titers were presented as geometric mean titers (GMTs).	At Day 0, Day 21 and Month 7
Secondary	Number of Seroconverted Subjects in Terms of HI Antibodies	Seroconversion (SCR) was defined as: For initially seronegative subjects (pre-vaccination titer below < 1:10), a post-vaccination titer = 1:40. For initially seropositive subjects (pre-vaccination titer = 1:10), at least a 4-fold increase in post-vaccination titer. The flu strain assessed was Flu A/CAL/7/09.	At Day 21 and Month 7
Secondary	Number of Seroprotected Subjects for HI Antibodies	A seroprotected subject was defined as a vaccinated subject with a serum HI titer = 1:40, which is usually accepted as indicating protection. The flu strain assessed was Flu A/CAL/7/09.	At Day 0, Day 21 and Month 7
Secondary	Geometric Mean Fold Increase (GMFR) for Serum HI Antibody Titer	GMFR, also called seroconversion factor (SCF), was defined as the fold increase in serum HI geometric mean titers (GMTs) post-vaccination compared to pre-vaccination. The flu strain assessed was Flu A/CAL/7/09.	At Day 21 and Month 7
Secondary	Number of Subjects With Any and Grade 3 Solicited Local Symptoms	Assessed solicited local symptoms were pain, redness and swelling. Any = incidence of a particular symptom regardless of intensity grade or relationship to vaccinations. Grade 3 pain (children below 6 years of age) = cried when limb was moved/spontaneously painful. Grade 3 pain (children above 6 years of age) = significant pain at rest; pain that prevented normal everyday activities. Grade 3 redness/swelling = redness/swelling spreading beyond 50 millimeters (mm) of injection site.	During the 7-day (Days 0-6) post-vaccination period following each dose and across doses
Secondary	Number of Subjects With Any, Grade 3 and Related Solicited General Symptoms	Assessed solicited general symptoms were drowsiness, irritability, loss of appetite and fever [defined as axillary temperature equal to or above 37.5 degrees Celsius (°C)]. Any = incidence of a particular symptom regardless of intensity grade or relationship to vaccinations. Grade 3 drowsiness = drowsiness which prevented normal everyday activities. Grade 3 irritability = crying that could not be comforted/prevented normal activity. Grade 3 loss of appetite = not eating at all. Grade 3 fever = fever > 39.0 °C. Related = symptom assessed by the investigator as causally related to the vaccination	During the 7-day (Days 0-6) post-vaccination period following each dose and across doses
Secondary	Number of Subjects With Any, Grade 3 and Related Solicited General Symptoms	Assessed solicited general symptoms were fatigue, gastrointestinal, headache and temperature [defined as axillary temperature equal to or above 37.5 degrees Celsius (°C)]. Any = incidence of a particular symptom regardless of intensity grade or relationship to vaccinations. Grade 3 = symptom which prevented normal everyday activity. Related = symptom assessed by the investigator as causally related to the vaccination. Grade 3 fever = fever > 39.0 °C.	During the 7-day (Days 0-6) post-vaccination period following each dose and across doses
Secondary	Number of Subjects With Any Medically-attended Events (MAEs)	MAEs were defined as events for which the subject received medical attention defined as hospitalization, an emergency room visit, or a visit to or from medical personnel (medical doctor) for any reason. Any MAE(s) = Occurrence of any MAE(s) regardless of intensity grade or relation to vaccination.	During the entire study period (from Month 0 up to Month 12)
Secondary	Number of Subjects With Adverse Events of Specific Interest (AESIs)/Potential Immune-mediated Disease (pIMDs)	Adverse events of specific interest (AESI) were defined as AEs including autoimmune diseases and other mediated inflammatory disorders and assessed by the investigator as specific to the treatment administration. Potential immune-mediated diseases (pIMDs) are a subset of AEs that include autoimmune diseases and other inflammatory and/or neurologic disorders of interest which may or may not have an autoimmune aetiology.	During the entire study period (from Month 0 up to Month 12)
Secondary	Number of Subjects With Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs)	An unsolicited AE covers any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product and reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study and any solicited symptom with onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms. Any was defined as the occurrence of any unsolicited AE regardless of intensity grade or relation to vaccination. Grade 3 AE = an AE which prevented normal, everyday activities. Related = AE assessed by the investigator as related to the vaccination.	Within the 42-day (Days 0-41) post-vaccination period
Secondary	Number of Subjects With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)	Serious adverse events (SAEs) assessed include medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization or result in disability/incapacity.
