Abbreviations: IIV3, trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine; GMT, Geometric mean titer; GMR, Geometric mean titer ratio.

*Estimates of antibody response and p-values derived from multilevel regression analyses after controlling for baseline antibody titer and prior influenza vaccination.

p-value (pregnancy); comparing vaccinated and non-vaccinated participants within pregnant group.

p-value (interaction); comparing effect of vaccination across pregnant and non-pregnant participants.
