The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the non-inferior HAI immune response of quadrivalent recombinant influenza vaccine (RIV4) vs licensed Egg-Based Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine (IIV4) for the 4 strains based on the egg-derived antigen in all participants aged 3 to 8 years and to describe the immunogenicity and safety profile of RIV4 compared to IIV4 in participants aged 3 to 8 years.
Participants were enrolled on the day of their first vaccination and received 1 or 2 doses 28 days apart of either RIV4 or IIV4; depending on if they were previously vaccinated against influenza or previously unvaccinated against influenza, respectively; and were followed for 6 months after the last vaccination.

Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) of Influenza Vaccine Antibodies 28 Days After the Last Vaccination
GMTs of influenza vaccine antibodies were measured using individual hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) assay for 4 influenza virus strains: A/H1N1 strain, A/H3N2 strain, B/Victoria lineage strain, and B/Yamagata lineage strain.
Time frame: Day 29 [participants previously vaccinated] or Day 57 [participants previously unvaccinated]
Percentage of Participants With Seroconversion (SC) Against Antigens 28 Days After the Last Vaccination
Anti-influenza antibodies were measured using HAI assay for 4 influenza virus strains: A/H1N1 strain, A/H3N2 strain, B/Victoria lineage strain, and B/Yamagata lineage strain. SC was defined as either a pre-vaccination HAI titer less than (\<) 10 (1/dilution) and a post-vaccination titer greater than or equal to (≥) 40 (1/dilution) or a pre-vaccination titer ≥ 10 (1/dilution) and a ≥ 4-fold increase in post-vaccination titer.
Time frame: Day 29 [participants previously vaccinated] or Day 57 [participants previously unvaccinated]
GMTs of Influenza Vaccine Antibodies at Day 1
GMTs of influenza vaccine antibodies were measured using HAI assay for 4 influenza virus strains: A/H1N1 strain, A/H3N2 strain, B/Victoria lineage strain, and B/Yamagata lineage strain.
Time frame: Pre-vaccination on Day 1
Percentage of Participants With Detectable HAI Titer ≥ 10 and ≥ 40 for Influenza Vaccine Antibodies at Day 1 and 28 Days After the Last Vaccination
Antibody titers were measured using HAI assay for 4 influenza virus strains: A/H1N1 strain, A/H3N2 strain, B/Victoria lineage strain, and B/Yamagata lineage strain.
Time frame: Day 1 (all participants) and Day 29 (participants previously vaccinated) or Day 57 (participants previously unvaccinated)

GMTR was the ratio of the individual titers post-vaccination over pre-vaccination. The GMTs of influenza vaccine antibodies were measured using HAI assay for 4 influenza virus strains: A/H1N1 strain, A/H3N2 strain, B/Victoria lineage strain, and B/Yamagata lineage strain.
Time frame: Day 1 (all participants) and Day 29 (participants previously vaccinated) or Day 57 (participants previously unvaccinated)
Number of Participants With Immediate Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs)
An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An unsolicited AE was an observed AE that did not fulfill the conditions of solicited reactions, i.e., pre-listed in the case report form (CRF) in terms of diagnosis and onset window post-vaccination. Immediate events were recorded to capture medically relevant unsolicited systemic AEs which occurred within the first 30 minutes after vaccination.
Time frame: Within 30 minutes post-vaccination on Day 1 (all participants) and Day 29 (participants previously unvaccinated)
Number of Participants With Solicited Injection Site Reactions and Systemic Reactions
Solicited injection site reactions were reactions at and around the injection/administration site of the investigational medicinal product (IMP) observed and reported under the conditions (nature and onset) pre-listed in the protocol and CRF and considered as being related to the IMP administered at that site. Solicited systemic reactions were systemic AEs observed and reported under the conditions (nature and onset) pre-listed in the protocol and CRF, and those occurring during the specified collection period were always considered related to the IMP even if there was evidence of alternative etiology.
Time frame: Day 1 to Day 8 (all participants); Day 29 to Day 36 (participants previously unvaccinated)
Number of Participants With Unsolicited AEs
An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An unsolicited AE was an observed AE that did not fulfill the conditions of solicited reactions, i.e., pre-listed in the CRF in terms of diagnosis and onset window post-vaccination.
Time frame: Up to Day 29 (all participants); Up to Day 57 (participants previously unvaccinated)
Number of Participants With Medically Attended Adverse Events (MAAEs)
An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An MAAE was a new onset or a worsening of a condition that prompted the participant or participant's parent/legally acceptable representative to seek unplanned medical advice at a physician's office or emergency department.
Time frame: Up to Day 29 (all participants); Up to Day 57 (participants previously unvaccinated)
Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) And Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESI)
An SAE was defined as any adverse event that, at any dose: resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, was a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or was other medically important event. An AESI was defined as one of scientific and medical concern specific to the Sponsor's study intervention or program, for which ongoing monitoring and rapid communication by the Investigator to the Sponsor was appropriate.
Time frame: From the first vaccination up to 6 months after the last vaccination, 209 days
