Primary Outcome(s)
Main Objective: - To describe the cellular immune response per age group (adults or elderly) and vaccine group (ID influenza or IM comparator vaccines) before vaccination, and, 7 days, 10 days, 14 days, 21 days, 180 days after vaccination
- To describe the humoral immune response per age group and vaccine group before vaccination, 14 days, 21 days, and 180 days after vaccination
- To describe mucosal immunity per age group and vaccine group through quantification of influenza-specific IgA (total, specific and sub-classes: IgA1 and IgA2) collected from saliva and serum before vaccination and 10 days, 14 days, 21 days and 180 days after vaccination
- To describe the safety of the vaccines per age group and per vaccine group after vaccination
Primary end point(s): Cellular Immune Response

- Intracellular Cytokine Staining (ICS):
-- To quantify the number of Interferon- ? (INF-?), Interleukine-2 (IL-2) or Tumor necrosis factor- a (TNF-a) secreting CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes after stimulation with influenza live virus (for each vaccine strain) in all the subjects at D0, D7, D10, D14, D21 and D180
-- To quantify the number of influenza-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes displaying a memory profile (IL-2 secreting cells [IL-2+]) in all the subjects at D0, D7, D10, D14, D21 and D180
-- To quantify the number of influenza-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes exhibiting an effector profile (INF-? and TNF-a secreting cells [INF-?+ and TNF-a+]) in all the subjects at D0, D7, D10, D14, D21 and D180

- Cytometric Bead Array (CBA):
-- To measure the concentration of a panel of Th1 (IFN-?, TNF-a, IL-2), and Th2 (IL-5, IL-4, IL 10) cytokines secreted by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) upon in vitro re stimulation with the three influenza vaccine strains in all the subjects at D0 and at the peak of the cellular response measured by ICS (D7 or D10 or D14 or D21 or D180)

- Lymphoproliferation:
-- To quantify the specific lymphoproliferative response (measured by 3H-thymidine incorporated in cells and expressed in counts per minute [cpm]), upon in vitro re-stimulation of PBMCs (= Stimulation Index [SI]) with influenza antigens from the three vaccine strains in all the subjects at D0 and at the peak of the cellular response measured by ICS (D7 or D10 or D14 or D21 or D180)
Depending on the results obtained with ICS method, CBA and lymphoproliferation assessments will not be performed at each timepoint: if a peak of response is clearly identified for one of the timepoints tested, CBA and lymphoproliferatrion methods will be performed at this timepoint only. If no peak of response emerged, CBA and lymphoproliferatrion method will be performed at the most relevant timepoint obtained according to results and literature.

Humoral Immune Response

The humoral immune response will be evaluated in all subjects using the hemagglutination inhibition (HI) test. Anti-hemagglutinin (HA) antibody titers for the three strains will be measured before vaccination and at 14, 21, and 180 days after vaccination.
The endpoints per strain will be:
-- Anti-HA individual titer on D0, D14, D21 and D180
-- Individual titers ratio:, D14/D0, D21/D0 and D180/D0
-- Seroconversion status (subjects with a pre-vaccination titer < 10 [1/dil], post-vaccination titer =40 [1/dil] on D14, D21 and D180), or significant increase of post-vaccination titer (subjects with a pre-vaccination titer =10 [1/dil], post-vaccination titer = 4-fold increase versus pre- vaccination titer on D14, D21 and D180)
--Seroprotection status: titer =40 (1/dil) on D14, D21 and D180
Seroprotection and seroconversion will be described using the criteria of the Committee for Human Medicinal Products (CHMP) Note for Guidance (NfG) CPMP/BWP/214/96.

Mucosal Immunity

Total IgA, specific IgA, IgA1 and IgA2, each from saliva and serum, will be measured using Enzyme-Like Immunsorbent Assay (ELISA) before vaccination and 10, 14, 21, and 180 days after vaccination.
The endpoints will be:
-- Individual titer - for saliva and serum - for Total IgA, Specific IgA, IgA1 and IgA2 on D0, D10, D14, D21 and D180
-- Individual titer ratio - for saliva and serum - for Total IgA, Specific IgA, IgA1 and IgA2 on D10/D0, D14/D0, D21/D0 and D180/D0
Individual titer ratio - for saliva and serum - Specific IgA / Total IgA on D0, D10, D14, D21 and D180

Safety

The endpoints will be:
-- Occurrence, nature (Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities [MedDRA] preferred term), duration, severity, and relationship to vaccination of any unsolicited systemic adverse events (AEs) reported in the 30 minutes after vaccination
-- Occurrence of the reactions (MedDRA Preferred Terms) as per the Committee for
Human Medicinal Products (CHMP) NfG CPMP/BWP/214/96 in the 3 days
following vaccination.
-- Occurrence, time to onset, number of days of occurrence, and severity of solicited (prelisted in the subject’s diary card (DC) and the Case Report Form [CRF]) injection site and systemic reactions up to 7 days after vaccination
-- Occurrence, nature (MedDRA preferred term), time to onset, duration, severity, and relationship to vaccination (for systemic AEs only) of unsolicited (spontaneously reported) AEs up to 21 days after vaccination
