CI = confidence interval; NNV = number needed to vaccinate; overall illness is defined as all influenza illnesses (both medically-attended and non-medically-attended).

1

Prevented fraction calculated as the number of events avoided among the vaccinated population divided by the estimated number of events that would have occurred in the absence of a vaccination program.

2

Overall illnesses include medically and non-medically attended illnesses.
