Estimated seasonal vaccine efficacy in adults.
Average Efficacy (Studies Used to Compute Average) | |||
---|---|---|---|
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) |
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.
