aSource for effectiveness assumptions for healthy and immunocompetent with comorbidities based on internal report from UBC Delphi panel report (October 29, 2011)

bSource for immunocompromised effectiveness assumptions: June 2012 ACIP presentation [14]. UBC Delphi panel did not collect estimates for immunocompromised population, so data from 2012 ACIP analysis was used

cConsensus of the Delphi panel was not reached for this estimate. The a priori protocol defined consensus as 70% of panelist estimates falling within one standard deviation of the mean. For this estimate 60% of estimates were within one standard deviation of the mean
