Abstract

Introduction Seasonal influenza infects millions annually in Europe. Annual influenza vaccination is the most effective measure to reduce the risk of infection and its complications, especially among young children and older adults. Objective We assessed adverse event (AE) frequency after receiving GSK’s inactivated quadrivalent seasonal influenza vaccine (IIV4). Methods A passive enhanced safety surveillance study was conducted in Belgium, Germany, and Spain. Adults who had received GSK's IIV4 or the parent(s)/guardian(s)/legally acceptable representative(s) of children given the vaccine were invited to complete an adverse drug reaction (ADR) card to document AEs experienced within 7 days post vaccination. Results A total of 1082 participants (51.6% females) received GSK's IIV4, including 115 children
