Description
Summary:Evidence of the immunogenicity and safety of quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine in children aged 6 to 35 months has been emerging. To evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine in children aged 6 to 35 months in a systematic review and meta-analysis. This meta-analysis included 12 studies with 6722 participants receiving QIV, 3575 participants receiving TIV, 4249 participants receiving full-dose QIV (F-QIV), and 3722 participants receiving half-dose QIV (H-QIV). Among children aged 6 to 35 months, QIV produces a better Immunogenicity against influenza B vaccine strains not contained in TIV. However, injection site reaction was more common for QIV, F-QIV showed superior efficacy for the B lineage, but fever and injection site pain was more frequently reported for F-QIV than H-QIV. These data support the immunogenicity and safety of quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine among children aged 6 to 35 months.
