  • Have Type I diabetes
  • Have a Body Mass Index \>35
  • Have hypertension at screening (with or without medication) that is graded as greater than Stage 1 defined as a systolic pressure \>159 or diastolic pressure \>99 while seated and at rest (measurement may be repeated twice before subject is absolutely excluded)

  • Suffer from active neoplastic disease or have a history of hematologic malignancy
  • Suffer from a disease or are undergoing a form of treatment that can be expected to influence immune response. Such treatment includes, but is not limited to systemic or high dose inhaled (\>800 μg/day of beclomethasone dipropionate or equivalent) corticosteroids, radiation treatment or other immunosuppressive or cytotoxic drugs
  • Have a history of inflammatory or degenerative neurological disease (e.g. Guillain Barré, multiple sclerosis)

  • Have received a blood transfusion or immunoglobulins within 30 days prior to vaccination in this study
  • Have donated blood or plasma within 30 days prior to vaccination in this study
  • Have a history of any vaccine related contraindicating event (e.g., anaphylaxis, allergy to eggs, allergy to components of the test or comparator vaccine, other known contraindications)
  • Have a rash, dermatologic condition or tattoos which may interfere with injection site reaction rating
  • Have a positive urine drug screen (unless the detected drug is currently prescribed by a licensed health care provider and the continued administration of the drug would not otherwise exclude the subject from participation)
  • Were administered an investigational drug within 6 weeks prior to study entry
  • Are concurrently participating in a clinical study that Inactivated Influenza Vaccine (Split Virus, Vero Cell Derived)includes the administration of an investigational product
  • Are a member of the team conducting this study
  • Are in a dependent relationship with the study investigator. Dependent relationships include close relatives (i.e., children, partner/spouse, siblings, parents) as well as employees of the investigator

  • NOTE: If all other inclusion/exclusion criteria are met, a subject with a temperature \>=37.5°C on Day 0 may be included in the study at a repeat visit provided:
  • They do not have an oral temperature \>=37.5°C at the repeat visit,
  • The repeat visit is no more than 5 calendar days after the initial Day 0 visit,
  • The repeat visit is no more than 21 calendar days after all other screening procedures are completed,
  • Subjects are still being recruited at the study site.
