NOTE. Seroconversion rate is given as the percentage of patients with a prevaccination HI titer <1:10 and a post-vaccination titer ≥ 1:40, or showing a significant increase in antibody titer defined as a prevaccination titer ≥ 1:10 and at least a 4-fold increase in post-vaccination titer. Seroconversion factor or geometric mean fold increase is defined as the geometric mean of the within-subject ratios of the post-vaccination reciprocal HI titer to the day 0 reciprocal HI titer. According to the European Union Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use, criteria for HI antibody response in adults 18–60 years of age are a percentage of HI titers ≥ 1:40 > 70%, a percentage of seroconversion >40%, and a geometric mean fold increase > 2.5. According to the United States Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, criteria for HI antibody response in adults <65 years of age are a lower limit of the 95% CI for HI titers ≥ 1:40 ≥ 70% and a lower limit of the 95% CI for seroconversion ≥ 40%.
