To Identify the Immunogenicity and Safety of QIV in Children Aged 3-8 Years

To explore the immunogenicity and safety of quadrivalent split influenza virus vaccine in children aged 3-8 years with two doses and one dose. This clinical trial was designed as a self-controlled trial to observe the immunogenicity and safety. This study was an exploratory study.

Sample size and test grouping:

In this study, a total of 360 subjects were enrolled in a self-controlled trial design.

In this study, 360 subjects aged 3 to 8 years old were enrolled. According to their previous influenza vaccine vaccination status, they were assigned to experimental group 1 (no previous influenza vaccine), experimental group 2 (one dose of influenza vaccine previously) and experimental group 3 (two or more doses of influenza vaccine previously), with 120 cases in each experimental group.

All subjects received one dose of tetravalent influenza virus lysis vaccine on day 0,28 for immunogenicity and safety observation.

All subjects received one dose of tetravalent influenza virus lysis vaccine on day 0,28 for immunogenicity and safety observation.

The enrollment sequence of this study is divided into two stages:

First stage: group 1, group 2 and group 3 into the group of 20 people, each agent 1 test vaccine respectively, collecting agent 1 test vaccine adverse event, within 7 days after 8 days after 1 dose diary collection card security assessment, confirm safe (not to suspend/terminate the test standard), can be on to the next stage into the group; The second dose of the trial vaccine was administered, adverse events were collected within 7 days after the second dose of the trial vaccine, diary cards were collected for safety assessment 8 days after the second dose, and the next phase of the second dose of vaccine could be administered after the safety was confirmed (criteria for suspension/termination of the trial were not met);

The second stage: The remaining 100 subjects in experimental groups 1, 2 and 3 were inoculated with the first and second doses of experimental vaccine.

Blood collection procedure:

About 4.0ml of venous blood was collected from all subjects before each dose and 30 days after the second dose.

5. Before enrollment, the interval between other inactivated vaccines was less than 7 days, and the interval between live attenuated vaccines was less than 14 days;
6. Fever or antipyretic analgesics and antiallergic drugs were used in the first 3 days before enrollment;
7. Long-term use of immunosuppressants or other immunomodulatory drugs within 3 months prior to enrollment (defined as continuous use for more than 14 days), such as glucocorticoid dose ≥0.5mg/kg/ day (inhalation and local glucocorticoid are not restricted);
8. Received blood or blood related products 6 months before enrollment;
9. have been diagnosed with congenital or acquired immunodeficiency;
10. done with may interfere with study or severe disease or congenital malformations (including but not limited to, the researchers determine unfavorable into groups: respiratory diseases such as asthma or chronic bronchitis attack, down syndrome, during the Mediterranean anemia, heart disease, kidney disease, autoimmune diseases, genetic allergic constitution, GBS, skin diseases, etc.);
11. have been diagnosed with a systemic disease that may interfere with the conduct or completion of the study, such as tuberculosis, viral hepatitis, and/or human immunodeficiency virus HIV infection, as determined by the investigator to be ineligible for inclusion;

15. Plan to move out of the local area before the end of the study or leave the area for an extended period during the scheduled study visit;
16. The investigator considers that the subject has any conditions that might interfere with the evaluation of the study purpose.

The second dose delayed the standard of inoculation If any of the following occurs, the researchers will delay vaccination until the situation abates.

* Fever (axillary temperature ≥37.5℃ at visit);
* Acute illness or acute episode of chronic disease (within 3 days prior to vaccination);
* Insufficient interval between other vaccines (less than 7 days between inactivated vaccines and less than 14 days between live attenuated vaccines);
* Any other reasons that the investigator assessed to be necessary to delay trial vaccination.

Exclusion criteria for the second dose The investigator will discontinue the subject's trial vaccine if any of the following occurs.

* New discoveries or occurrences that meet the criteria for the first exclusion prior to vaccination (other than postponement of the criteria);
* Adverse reactions (including but not limited to) after vaccination (experimental vaccine);

appears within 48 hours after inoculation:

- High fever (axillary temperature ≥39.5°C), with or without convulsion;

appears after experimental vaccine is administered:

* encephalopathy;
* Seizures.

  * Other serious adverse events: decide whether to discontinue trial vaccine based on their treatment needs;
  * Any other reasons the investigator assessed to be necessary to discontinue trial vaccination.
