Direct and Indirect Protection by Influenza Vaccine Given to Children in India

Summary

The study described here will immunize children with trivalent influenza vaccine (TIV) and determine whether this reduces influenza illness among the immunized children and their older family members. The comparison or control group for the children receiving influenza vaccine will be children immunized with inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV).
