a Groups were administered the quadrivalent influenza vaccine (QIV), the low-dose adjuvanted quadrivalent influenza vaccine (LD QIV-AS), the low-dose adjuvanted trivalent influenza vaccine (LD TIV-AS) or the trivalent influenza vaccine (TIV).

b Abbreviations: 95% CI = 95% confidence interval (lower limit–upper limit); GMT = geometric mean titer; N = total number of participants; Pre = Pre-vaccination (Day 0); Post = Post-vaccination (Day 21); SCR = Seroconversion ratio defined as percentage of participants with antibody titer ≥1:40 1/DIL post-vaccination for initially seronegative participants, or ≥4 fold the pre-vaccination antibody titer for initially seropositive participants; SPR = Seroprotection rate defined as percentage of participants with antibody titer ≥1:40; SCF = Seroconversion factor defined as the fold increase in GMTs post-vaccination compared with pre-vaccination.

* CHMP criteria were met or exceeded (SCR > 40%, SPR > 70%, SCF > 2.5).

$ CBER criteria were met or exceeded (95% CI lower limit for SCR ≥ 40%, SPR ≥ 70%).
