Average annual results (with 95% confidence intervals) obtained for the 20 year evaluation period (calculated from 1,000 simulations for each combination of L and vaccination strategy in a simulated population of about 80,000 individuals (2,000 simulations each for the baseline parameter value L = 60%; boldface line). The last column shows what percentage of all influenza A and B infections which occur under TIV vaccination can additionally be prevented by QIV.
