Summary:

      The aim of this trial is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the 2014-2015
      formulations of Fluzone® Quadrivalent and Fluzone® Intradermal vaccines in adults 18 to < 65
      years or age, and of the 2014-2015 formulations of Fluzone® Quadrivalent and Fluzone®
      High-Dose vaccines in adults ≥ 65 years of age.

      Objectives:

        -  To describe the safety of the 2014-2015 formulations of Fluzone Quadrivalent and Fluzone
           Intradermal vaccines in adults 18 to < 65 years of age and the safety of the 2014-2015
           formulations of Fluzone® Quadrivalent and Fluzone® High-Dose vaccines in adults ≥ 65
           years of age.

      Observational objectives:

        -  To describe the immunogenicity of the 2014-2015 formulations of Fluzone® Quadrivalent
           and Fluzone® Intradermal vaccines in adults 18 to < 65 years of age and the
           immunogenicity of the 2014-2015 formulations of Fluzone® Quadrivalent and Fluzone
           ®High-Dose vaccines in adults ≥ 65 years of age.

        -  To evaluate the compliance, in terms of immunogenicity, of each study vaccine (Fluzone®
           Quadrivalent, Fluzone® Intradermal, and Fluzone® High-Dose) in the applicable age group
           with the historical requirements of the Committee for Human Medicinal Products (CHMP)
           Note for Guidance (NfG) CPMP/BWP/214/96.
    

Eligibility criteria:

        Inclusion Criteria:

          -  Subject is ≥ 18 years of age on the day of inclusion.

          -  Informed consent form has been signed and dated.

          -  Able to attend all scheduled visits and to comply with all trial procedures.

        Exclusion Criteria:

          -  History of serious adverse reaction to any influenza vaccine.

          -  Receipt of any vaccine within 30 days before receiving study vaccine, or plans to
             receive another vaccine before Visit 2.

          -  Participation in another interventional clinical trial investigating a vaccine, drug,
             medical device, or medical procedure in the 30 days preceding the first study
             vaccination or during the course of the study, unless no intervention for the other
             study occurred within the 30 days prior to the first study vaccination and none are
             planned before the subject would complete safety surveillance for the present study.

          -  Thrombocytopenia, which may be a contraindication for intramuscular vaccination, at
             the discretion of the Investigator.

          -  Prior vaccination with any 2014-2015 formulation of influenza vaccine.

          -  Known systemic hypersensitivity to eggs, chicken proteins, or any of the vaccine
             components, or a history of a life-threatening reaction to Fluzone Quadrivalent,
             Fluzone Intradermal, or Fluzone High-Dose vaccine or to a vaccine containing any of
             the same substances (the complete list of vaccine components is included in the
