SPS commentary:
In UK and EU, QIVc is marketed as Flucelvax Tetra and is currently licensed for use in people 9 years of age and older. The results of this study will be used to support applications to national regulatory bodies such as FDA and European Medicines Agency for an expanded age indication in children ≥2 years of age.
