Table 2.

Estimates of the impacts of LAIV pilot program during the 2014/2015 influenza season in individual pilot locations and supersets of them. For each area considered, the precampaign Pearson correlation r with chosen control areas, the mean and 95% confidence intervals of the absolute and relative mean impact δv and θv during the intervention period, the number of control areas chosen n(c), and the size of the population targeted in the chosen vaccination Pop(v) and control Pop(c) areas are presented. Statistically significant results are highlighted in italics.
