*Antibody response is defined as a fourfold rise in neutralization or hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) titer or a HAI titer of ≥40 postvaccine if the baseline HAI titer was <10.

†B/Phuket/3073/2013 (Yamagata) is included in quadrivalent vaccines only; postvaccine results from individuals without confirmed quadrivalent vaccine were excluded from postvaccine summaries; remaining N were 5 in the pre-CAR-T cohort, 10 in the post-CAR-T cohort, and 8 in the control cohort.

CAR-T, chimeric antigen receptor-modified T cell; GMT, geometric mean titer.
