Authors' objectives:

This follow-on study will compare the A/California/7/2009 (H1N1) antibody persistence after these novel H1N1 influenza vaccines and immunogenicity&reactogenicity of one dose of a trivalent seasonal influenza vaccine, in cohorts receiving either Celvapen or Pandemrix to inform future H1N1 vaccination policy.

Authors' recommendations: One year after immunisation, children receiving two doses of the routinely recommended, adjuvanted pandemic influenza vaccine had higher antibody levels than those receiving the alternative, egg-free vaccine; both groups produced a marked serological response to the H1N1 component of the 2010/11 seasonal influenza vaccine.
