Trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (TIV) is reformulated annually to contain representative strains of 2 influenza A subtypes (H1N1 and H3N2) and 1 B lineage (Yamagata or Victoria). We describe a sentinel surveillance approach to link influenza variant detection with component-specific vaccine effectiveness (VE) estimation.
The 2006-2007 TIV included A/NewCaledonia/20/1999(H1N1)-like, A/Wisconsin/67/2005(H3N2)-like, and B/Malaysia/2506/2004(Victoria)-like components. Included participants were individuals >or=9 years of age who presented within 1 week after influenza like illness onset to a sentinel physician between November 2006 and April 2007. Influenza was identified by real-time reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction and/or culture. Isolates were characterized by hemagglutination inhibition assay (HI) and HA1 gene sequence. VE was estimated as 1-[odds ratio for influenza in vaccinated versus nonvaccinated persons].
A total of 841 participants contributed: 69 (8%) were >or=65 years of age; 166 (20%) received the 2006-2007 TIV. Influenza was detected in 337 subjects (40%), distributed as follows: A/H3N2, 242 (72%); A/H1N1, 55 (16%); and B, 36 (11%). All but 1 of the A/H1N1 isolates were well matched, half of A/H3N2 isolates were strain mismatched, and all B isolates were lineage-level mismatched to vaccine. Age-adjusted estimated VE for A/H1N1, A/H3N2, and B components was 92% (95% CI, 40%-91%), 41% (95% CI, 6%-63%), and 19% (95% CI, -112% to 69%), respectively, with an overall VE estimate of 47% (95% CI, 18%-65%). Restriction of the analysis to include only working-age adults resulted in lower VE estimates with wide confidence intervals but similar component-specific trends.
Sentinel surveillance provides a broad platform to link new variant detection and the composite of circulating viruses to annual monitoring of component-specific VE.
三价灭活流感疫苗(TIV)每年都会重新配制,以包含2种甲型流感病毒亚型(H1N1和H3N2)和1种乙型流感病毒系(山形株或维多利亚株)的代表性毒株。我们描述了一种哨点监测方法,将流感变异株检测与特定组分疫苗效力(VE)评估联系起来。
2006 - 2007年的TIV包含A/新喀里多尼亚/20/1999(H1N1)类似株、A/威斯康星/67/2005(H3N2)类似株和B/马来西亚/2506/2004(维多利亚)类似株组分。纳入的参与者为2006年11月至2007年4月期间在流感样疾病发病后1周内就诊于哨点医生的9岁及以上个体。通过实时逆转录聚合酶链反应和/或培养鉴定流感病毒。分离株通过血凝抑制试验(HI)和HA1基因序列进行特征鉴定。VE估计值为1 - [接种疫苗者与未接种疫苗者患流感的比值比]。
共有841名参与者纳入研究:69名(8%)年龄≥65岁;166名(20%)接种了2006 - 2007年的TIV。337名受试者(40%)检测到流感病毒,分布如下:A/H3N2,242例(72%);A/H1N1,55例(16%);B型,36例(11%)。除1株A/H1N1分离株外,其余均与疫苗匹配良好,一半的A/H3N2分离株与毒株不匹配,所有B型分离株与疫苗在系水平上不匹配。A/H1N1、A/H3N2和B组分的年龄调整后VE估计值分别为92%(95%CI,40% - 91%)、41%(95%CI,6% - 63%)和19%(95%CI, - 112%至69%),总体VE估计值为47%(95%CI,18% - 65%)。仅将分析限制在工作年龄成年人中,VE估计值较低且置信区间较宽,但特定组分的趋势相似。
哨点监测提供了一个广泛的平台,可将新变异株检测和循环病毒的综合情况与特定组分VE的年度监测联系起来。
