Table A2.

Estimated seasonal vaccine efficacy in adults.

Average Efficacy (Studies Used to Compute Average) a
Season H3N2 H1N1 B
2005–2006 49.4 (12.7,70.7) [84]
2006–2007 55.9 (35.5,70.4) [20,84]
2007–2008 58.3 (40.9,66.9) [22,23,85] 81.5 (60.9) [85] 45.8 (21.2, 59.2) [23,85]
2008–2009 62.3 (48.1, 72.6) [19,21] 60.1 (9.5, 82.4) [19]
Average 54.7 (41.8, 64.3) 73.6 (60.3, 77.5) 53.5 (27.0, 69.9)

a Seasonal averages are calculated using arithmetic means of log RRs (Equation (A7)) reported by studies listed in Table A1. When subtype or type-specific efficacy is not explicitly measured, the efficacy against the dominant type/subtype in the study population is estimated as equal to the overall efficacy.
