5.1 Guillain-Barré Syndrome

If Guillain Barré syndrome (GBS) has occurred within 6 weeks following previous influenza vaccination, the decision to give Fluzone Quadrivalent Southern Hemisphere should be based on careful consideration of the potential benefits and risks.

The 1976 swine influenza vaccine was associated with an elevated risk of GBS. Evidence for a causal relation of GBS with other influenza vaccines is inconclusive; if an excess risk exists, it is probably slightly more than 1 additional case per 1 million persons vaccinated. ( 1).

5.2 Preventing and Managing Allergic Reactions

Appropriate medical treatment must be immediately available to manage potential anaphylactic reactions following administration of Fluzone Quadrivalent Southern Hemisphere.

5.3 Altered Immunocompetence

If Fluzone Quadrivalent Southern Hemisphere is administered to immunocompromised persons, including those receiving immunosuppressive therapy, the expected immune response may not be obtained.

5.4 Limitations of Vaccine Effectiveness

Vaccination with Fluzone Quadrivalent Southern Hemisphere may not protect all recipients.

5.5 Syncope

Syncope (fainting) has been reported following vaccination with Fluzone Quadrivalent Southern Hemisphere. Procedures should be in place to avoid injury from fainting.

6.1 Clinical Trials Experience

Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse event rates observed in the clinical trial(s) of a vaccine cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trial(s) of another vaccine and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.

Children 6 Months Through 8 Years of Age

Study 1 (NCT01240746) was a single-blind, randomized, active-controlled multi-center safety and immunogenicity study conducted in the US. In this study, children 6 months through 35 months of age received one or two 0.25 mL doses of either Fluzone Quadrivalent or one of two formulations of a comparator trivalent influenza vaccine (TIV-1 or TIV-2), and children 3 years through 8 years of age received one or two 0.5 mL doses of either Fluzone Quadrivalent, TIV-1, or TIV-2. Each of the trivalent formulations contained an influenza type B virus that corresponded to one of the two type B viruses in Fluzone Quadrivalent (a type B virus of the Victoria lineage or a type B virus of the Yamagata lineage). For participants who received two doses, the doses were administered approximately 4 weeks apart. The safety analysis set included 1841 children 6 months through 35 months of age and 2506 children 3 years through 8 years of age. Among participants 6 months through 8 years of age in the three vaccine groups combined, 49.3% were female (Fluzone Quadrivalent, 49.2%; TIV-1, 49.8%; TIV-2, 49.4%), 58.4% Caucasian (Fluzone Quadrivalent, 58.4%; TIV-1, 58.9%; TIV-2, 57.8%), 20.2% Black (Fluzone Quadrivalent, 20.5%; TIV-1, 19.9%; TIV-2, 19.1%), 14.1% Hispanic (Fluzone Quadrivalent, 14.3%; TIV-1, 13.2%; TIV-2, 14.7%), and 7.3% were of other racial/ethnic groups (Fluzone Quadrivalent, 6.8%; TIV-1, 8.0%; TIV-2, 8.5%). Table 2 and Table 3 summarize solicited injection-site and systemic adverse reactions reported within 7 days post-vaccination via diary cards. Participants were monitored for unsolicited adverse events for 28 days after each dose and serious adverse events (SAEs) during the 6 months following the last dose.

Among children 6 months through 8 years of age, unsolicited non-serious adverse events were reported in 1360 (47.0%) recipients in the Fluzone Quadrivalent group, 352 (48.0%) recipients in the TIV-1 group, and 346 (48.0%) recipients in the TIV-2 group. The most commonly reported unsolicited non-serious adverse events were cough, vomiting, and pyrexia. During the 28 days following vaccination, a total of 16 (0.6%) recipients in the Fluzone Quadrivalent group, 4 (0.5%) recipients in the TIV-1 group, and 4 (0.6%) recipients in the TIV-2 group, experienced at least one SAE. Throughout the study period, a total of 41 (1.4%) recipients in the Fluzone Quadrivalent group, 7 (1.0%) recipients in the TIV-1 group, and 14 (1.9%) recipients in the TIV-2 group, experienced at least one SAE. Three SAEs were considered to be possibly related to vaccination: croup in a Fluzone Quadrivalent recipient and 2 episodes of febrile seizure, 1 each in a TIV-1 recipient and a TIV-2 recipient.

0.5-mL Dose of Fluzone Quadrivalent in Children 6 Months through 35 Months of Age

Study 2 (NCT02915302) was a randomized, observer-blinded, 2-arm, multi-center safety and immunogenicity study conducted in the US. In this study, 1950 children 6 months through 35 months of age were randomly assigned to receive Fluzone Quadrivalent administered in either a volume of 0.25 mL (Group 1) or 0.5 mL (Group 2). For participants recommended to receive two doses of influenza vaccine as per Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices guidance, the same dose was administered 4 weeks after the first. The safety analysis set included 1941 participants who received at least 1 dose of study vaccine. Of these participants, 49.7% were female, 74.3% were Caucasian, 19.2% were Black, 6.5% were of other racial groups, and 22.0% were Hispanic/Latino.

Table 4 summarizes solicited injection-site and systemic adverse reactions reported within 7 days post-vaccination via diary cards for the 0.25 mL and 0.5 mL volumes of Fluzone Quadrivalent in children 6 months through 35 months of age.

The difference in fever rate (Group 2 minus Group 1) was 0.84% (95% CI: -2.13%; 3.80%), meeting the prespecified non-inferiority criterion (upper limit of the 2-sided 95% CI of the difference in fever rates <5%). Participants were monitored for unsolicited adverse events and SAEs during the 28 days following vaccination. Unsolicited non-serious adverse events were reported in 417 (44%) participants in Group 1 and 394 (40%) participants in Group 2. The most commonly reported unsolicited non-serious adverse events in both groups were cough and rhinorrhea. Ten SAEs were reported during the 28-day follow-up period: 5 (0.5%) in Group 1 and 5 (0.5%) in Group 2.

Adults

In Study 3 (NCT00988143), a multi-centered randomized, open-label trial conducted in the US, adults 18 years of age and older received one dose of either Fluzone Quadrivalent or one of two formulations of comparator trivalent influenza vaccine (TIV-1 or TIV-2). Each of the trivalent formulations contained an influenza type B virus that corresponded to one of the two type B viruses in Fluzone Quadrivalent (a type B virus of the Victoria lineage or a type B virus of the Yamagata lineage). The safety analysis set included 570 recipients, half aged 18-60 years and half aged 61 years or older. Among participants in the three vaccine groups combined, 67.2% were female (Fluzone Quadrivalent, 68.4%; TIV-1, 67.9%; TIV-2, 65.3%), 88.4% Caucasian (Fluzone Quadrivalent, 91.1%; TIV-1, 86.8%; TIV-2, 87.4%), 9.6% Black (Fluzone Quadrivalent, 6.8%; TIV-1, 12.1%; TIV-2, 10.0%), 0.4% Hispanic (Fluzone Quadrivalent, 0.0%; TIV-1, 0.5%; TIV-2, 0.5%), and 1.7% were of other racial/ethnic groups (Fluzone Quadrivalent, 2.1%; TIV-1, 0.5%; TIV-2, 2.2%). Table 5 summarizes solicited injection-site and systemic adverse reactions reported within 3 days post-vaccination via diary cards. Participants were monitored for unsolicited adverse events and SAEs during the 21 days following vaccination.

Unsolicited non-serious adverse events were reported in 33 (17.4%) recipients in the Fluzone Quadrivalent group, 45 (23.7%) recipients in the TIV-1 group, and 45 (23.7%) recipients in the TIV-2 group. The most commonly reported unsolicited non-serious adverse events were headache, cough, and oropharyngeal pain. In the follow-up period, there were two SAEs, 1 (0.5%) in the Fluzone Quadrivalent group and 1 (0.5%) in the TIV-2 group.

Geriatric Adults

In Study 4 (NCT01218646), a multi-center, randomized, double-blind trial conducted in the US, adults 65 years of age and older received one dose of either Fluzone Quadrivalent, or one of two formulations of comparator trivalent influenza vaccine (TIV-1 or TIV-2). Each of the trivalent formulations contained an influenza type B virus that corresponded to one of the two type B viruses in Fluzone Quadrivalent (a type B virus of the Victoria lineage or a type B virus of the Yamagata lineage). The safety analysis set included 675 recipients. Among participants in the three vaccine groups combined, 55.7% were female (Fluzone Quadrivalent, 57.3%; TIV-1, 56.0%; TIV-2, 53.8%), 89.5% Caucasian (Fluzone Quadrivalent, 87.6%; TIV-1, 89.8%; TIV-2, 91.1%), 2.2% Black (Fluzone Quadrivalent, 4.0%; TIV-1, 1.8%; TIV-2, 0.9%), 7.4% Hispanic (Fluzone Quadrivalent, 8.4%; TIV-1, 7.6%; TIV-2, 6.2%) and 0.9% were of other racial/ethnic groups (Fluzone Quadrivalent, 0.0%; TIV-1, 0.9%; TIV-2, 1.8%).

6.2 Post-Marketing Experience

The following adverse events have been spontaneously reported during the post-approval use of Fluzone (trivalent) or Fluzone Quadrivalent Southern Hemisphere. Because these events are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to vaccine exposure. Adverse events were included based on one or more of the following factors: severity, frequency of reporting, or strength of evidence for a causal relationship to Fluzone (trivalent) or Fluzone Quadrivalent Southern Hemisphere.

Blood and Lymphatic System Disorders: Thrombocytopenia, lymphadenopathy
Immune System Disorders: Anaphylaxis, other allergic/hypersensitivity reactions (including urticaria, angioedema)
Eye Disorders: Ocular hyperemia

Fluzone Quadrivalent Southern Hemisphere and Fluzone Quadrivalent are manufactured using the same process. Data in this section were obtained in studies with Fluzone Quadrivalent.

8.1 Pregnancy

Pregnancy Exposure Registry

There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to Fluzone Quadrivalent during pregnancy. Healthcare providers are encouraged to enroll women who receive Fluzone Quadrivalent during pregnancy in Sanofi Pasteur Inc.'s vaccination pregnancy registry by calling 1-800-822-2463.

Risk Summary

All pregnancies have a risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively.

Available data with Fluzone Quadrivalent use in pregnant women are insufficient to inform vaccine-associated risk of adverse developmental outcomes.

A developmental toxicity study was performed in female rabbits administered Fluzone Quadrivalent prior to mating and during gestation. The dose was 0.5 mL on each of five occasions (a single human dose is 0.5 mL). This study revealed no adverse effects to the fetus or pre-weaning development and no evidence of impaired female fertility due to Fluzone Quadrivalent (see Data).

Data

Animal Data: A developmental toxicity study was performed in female rabbits administered Fluzone Quadrivalent by intramuscular injection 24 and 10 days before insemination, and on Days 6, 12, and 27 of gestation. The dose was 0.5 mL on each occasion (a single human dose is 0.5 mL). This study revealed no vaccine related fetal malformations and no adverse effects on pre-weaning development or female fertility.

Clinical Considerations

Disease-associated Maternal and/or Embryo/Fetal Risk

Pregnant women are at increased risk of complications associated with influenza infection compared to non-pregnant women. Pregnant women who contract influenza may be at increased risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes, including preterm labor and delivery.

8.2 Lactation

Risk Summary

It is not known whether Fluzone Quadrivalent is excreted in human milk. Data are not available to assess the effects of Fluzone Quadrivalent on the breastfed infant or on milk production/excretion.

The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for Fluzone Quadrivalent and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from Fluzone Quadrivalent or from the underlying maternal condition. For preventive vaccines, the underlying maternal condition is susceptibility to the disease prevented by the vaccine.

8.4 Pediatric Use

Safety and effectiveness of Fluzone Quadrivalent Southern Hemisphere in children below the age of 6 months have not been established. Safety and effectiveness of Fluzone Quadrivalent in children 9 through 17 years of age is based on safety and effectiveness in children 6 months through 8 years of age and adults 18 years of age and older.

8.5 Geriatric Use

Safety and immunogenicity of Fluzone Quadrivalent were evaluated in adults 65 years of age and older. [See Clinical Studies (14.6).] Antibody responses to Fluzone Quadrivalent are lower in persons ≥65 years of age than in younger adults.

11 DESCRIPTION

Fluzone Quadrivalent Southern Hemisphere (Influenza Vaccine) for intramuscular use is an inactivated influenza vaccine, prepared from influenza viruses propagated in embryonated chicken eggs. The ...

Fluzone Quadrivalent Southern Hemisphere (Influenza Vaccine) for intramuscular use is an inactivated influenza vaccine, prepared from influenza viruses propagated in embryonated chicken eggs. The virus-containing allantoic fluid is harvested and inactivated with formaldehyde. Influenza virus is concentrated and purified in a linear sucrose density gradient solution using a continuous flow centrifuge. The virus is then chemically disrupted using a non-ionic surfactant, octylphenol ethoxylate (Triton® X-100), producing a "split virus". The split virus containing hemagglutinin (HA) antigen is further purified and then suspended in sodium phosphate-buffered isotonic sodium chloride solution. The Fluzone Quadrivalent process uses an additional concentration factor after the ultrafiltration step to obtain a higher HA antigen concentration. The purified split virus from the four strains included in the vaccine are produced separately and then combined to make the quadrivalent formulation.

Fluzone Quadrivalent Southern Hemisphere is an injectable suspension and is clear and slightly opalescent in color.

Antibiotics are not used in the manufacture of Fluzone Quadrivalent Southern Hemisphere.

No presentation of Fluzone Quadrivalent Southern Hemisphere is made with natural rubber latex.

Fluzone Quadrivalent Southern Hemisphere is standardized according to United States Public Health Service requirements and is formulated to contain HA of each of the following four influenza strains recommended for the 2025 Southern Hemisphere influenza season: A/Victoria/4897/2022 IVR-238 (H1N1), A/Croatia/10136RV/2023 X-425A (H3N2), B/Phuket/3073/2013 (B Yamagata lineage), and B/Michigan/01/2021 (a B/Austria/1359417/2021-like virus, B Victoria lineage). The amounts of HA and other ingredients per dose of vaccine are listed in Table 7. The 0.5 mL single-dose, pre-filled syringe presentation is manufactured and formulated without thimerosal or any other preservative. The 5 mL multi-dose vial presentation contains thimerosal, a mercury derivative, added as a preservative. Each 0.5 mL dose from the multi-dose vial contains 25 mcg mercury. Each 0.25 mL dose from the multi-dose vial contains 12.5 mcg mercury.

12.1 Mechanism of Action

Specific levels of hemagglutination inhibition (HI) antibody titer post-vaccination with inactivated influenza virus vaccines have not been correlated with protection from influenza virus infection. In some human studies, antibody titers ≥1:40 have been associated with protection from influenza illness in up to 50% of participants. (2) (3)

Antibodies against one influenza virus type or subtype confer limited or no protection against another. Furthermore, antibodies to one antigenic variant of influenza virus might not protect against a new antigenic variant of the same type or subtype. Frequent development of antigenic variants through antigenic drift is the virologic basis for seasonal epidemics and the reason for the usual change of one or more new strains in each year's influenza vaccine.

14 CLINICAL STUDIES

The effectiveness of Fluzone Quadrivalent was demonstrated based on clinical endpoint efficacy data for Fluzone (trivalent influenza vaccine) and on an evaluation of serum HI antibody responses to Fluzone Quadrivalent. Fluzone Quadrivalent, an inactivated influenza vaccine that contains the hemagglutinins of two influenza A subtype viruses and two influenza type B viruses, is manufactured according to the same process as Fluzone.

Fluzone Quadrivalent Southern Hemisphere and Fluzone Quadrivalent are manufactured using the same process. Data in this section were obtained in studies with Fluzone Quadrivalent.

14.1 Efficacy of Fluzone (Trivalent Influenza Vaccine) in Children 6 through 24 Months of Age

Study 5 (NCT not available), a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted at a single US center during the 1999-2000 (Year 1) and 2000-2001 (Year 2) influenza seasons. The intent-to-treat analysis set included a total of 786 children 6 through 24 months of age. Participants received two 0.25 mL doses of either Fluzone (N=525) or a placebo (N=261). Among all randomized participants in both years, the mean age was 13.8 months; 52.5% were male, 50.8% were Caucasian, 42.0% were Black, and 7.2% were of other racial groups. Cases of influenza were identified through active and passive surveillance for influenza-like illness or acute otitis media and confirmed by culture. Influenza-like illness was defined as fever with signs or symptoms of an upper respiratory infection. Vaccine efficacy against all influenza viral types and subtypes was a secondary endpoint and is presented in Table 8.

14.2 Efficacy of Fluzone (Trivalent Influenza Vaccine) in Adults

Study 6 (NCT00538512), a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted in a single US center during the 2007-2008 influenza season. Participants received one dose of either Fluzone vaccine (N=813), an active comparator (N=814), or placebo (N=325). The intent-to-treat analysis set included 1138 healthy adults who received Fluzone or placebo. Participants were 18 through 49 years of age (mean age was 23.3 years); 63.3% were female, 83.1% were Caucasian, and 16.9% were of other racial/ethnic groups. Cases of influenza were identified through active and passive surveillance and confirmed by cell culture and/or real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

Influenza-like illness was defined as an illness with at least 1 respiratory symptom (cough or nasal congestion) and at least 1 constitutional symptom (fever or feverishness, chills, or body aches). Vaccine efficacy of Fluzone against all influenza viral types and subtypes is presented in Table 9.

14.3 Immunogenicity of Fluzone Quadrivalent in Children 6 Months through 8 Years of Age

In Study 1 (NCT01240746) [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)], 1419 children 6 months through 35 months of age and 2101 children 3 years through 8 years of age were included in the per-protocol immunogenicity analysis. Participants 6 months through 35 months of age received one or two 0.25 mL doses and participants 3 years through 8 years of age received one or two 0.5 mL doses of Fluzone Quadrivalent, TIV-1, or TIV-2. For participants who received two doses, the doses were administered approximately 4 weeks apart. The distribution of demographic characteristics was similar to that of the safety analysis set [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].

HI antibody geometric mean titers (GMTs) and seroconversion rates 28 days following vaccination with Fluzone Quadrivalent were non-inferior to those following each TIV for all four strains, based on pre-specified criteria (see Table 10 and Table 11).

Non-inferiority immunogenicity criteria based on HI antibody GMTs and seroconversion rates were also met when age subgroups (6 months to <36 months and 3 years to <9 years) were examined. In addition, HI antibody GMTs and seroconversion rates following Fluzone Quadrivalent were higher than those following TIV for the B strain not contained in each respective TIV based on pre-specified criteria (the lower limit of the 2-sided 95% CI of the ratio of the GMTs [Fluzone Quadrivalent divided by TIV] >1.5 for each B strain in Fluzone Quadrivalent compared with the corresponding B strain not contained in each TIV and the lower limit of the two 2-sided 95% CI of the difference of the seroconversion rates [Fluzone Quadrivalent minus TIV] >10% for each B strain in Fluzone Quadrivalent compared with the corresponding B strain not contained in each TIV).

14.4 Immunogenicity of the 0.5 mL Dose of Fluzone Quadrivalent in Children 6 Months through 35 Months of Age

In Study 2 (NCT02915302) [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)], 1027 children, 6 months through 35 months of age, were included in the per-protocol immunogenicity analysis. The distribution of demographic characteristics was similar to that of the safety analysis set [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].

In this study, children 6 months through 35 months of age received one or two doses of either 0.25 mL or 0.5 mL of Fluzone Quadrivalent. Non-inferiority of the 0.5 mL dose(s) relative to the 0.25 mL dose(s) of Fluzone Quadrivalent was demonstrated for all four strains based on pre- specified criteria (lower limit of the 2-sided 95% CI of the ratio of GMTs between groups >0.667; lower limit of the 2-sided 95% CI of the difference in seroconversion rates >-10%). GMT ratios (GMT0.5-mL dose divided by GMT0.25-mL dose) for the A/H1N1, A/H3N2, B Victoria lineage, and B Yamagata lineage strains were 1.42 (95% CI: 1.16; 1.74), 1.48 (95% CI: 1.21; 1.82), 1.33 (95% CI: 1.09; 1.62), and 1.41 (95% CI: 1.17; 1.70), respectively. Seroconversion rate (SCR) differences (SCR0.5-mL dose minus SCR0.25-mL dose) for the A/H1N1, A/H3N2, B Victoria lineage, and B Yamagata lineage strains were 4.6% (95% CI: -0.4%; 9.6%), 5.1% (95% CI: 0.4%; 9.8%), 1.3% (95% CI: -2.9%; 5.6%), and 2.6% (95% CI: -1.4%; 6.5%).

14.5 Immunogenicity of Fluzone Quadrivalent in Adults ≥18 Years of Age

In Study 3 (NCT00988143) [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)], 565 adults 18 years of age and older who had received one dose of Fluzone Quadrivalent, TIV-1, or TIV-2 were included in the per- protocol immunogenicity analysis. The distribution of demographic characteristics was similar to that of the safety analysis set [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].

HI antibody GMTs 21 days following vaccination with Fluzone Quadrivalent were non-inferior to those following each TIV for all four strains, based on pre-specified criteria (see Table 12).

14.6 Immunogenicity of Fluzone Quadrivalent in Geriatric Adults ≥65 Years of Age

In Study 4 (NCT01218646) [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)], 660 adults 65 years of age and older were included in the per-protocol immunogenicity analysis. The distribution of demographic characteristics was similar to that of the safety analysis set [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].

HI antibody GMTs 21 days following vaccination with Fluzone Quadrivalent were non-inferior to those following TIV for all four strains, based on pre-specified criteria (see Table 13).

Seroconversion rates 21 days following Fluzone Quadrivalent were non-inferior to those following TIV for H3N2, B/Brisbane, and B/Florida, but not for H1N1 (see Table 14). The HI antibody GMT following Fluzone Quadrivalent was higher than that following TIV-1 for B/Florida but not higher than that following TIV-2 for B/Brisbane, based on pre-specified criteria (the lower limit of the 2-sided 95% CI of the ratio of the GMTs [Fluzone Quadrivalent divided by TIV] >1.5 for each B strain in Fluzone Quadrivalent compared with the corresponding B strain not contained in each TIV). Seroconversion rates following Fluzone Quadrivalent were higher than those following TIV for the B strain not contained in each respective TIV, based on pre- specified criteria (the lower limit of the two 2-sided 95% CI of the difference of the seroconversion rates [Fluzone Quadrivalent minus TIV] >10% for each B strain in Fluzone Quadrivalent compared with the corresponding B strain not contained in each TIV).
