    We conducted a multicentre test-negative case-control study in 27 hospitals of 11 European countries to measure 2015/16 influenza vaccine effectiveness (IVE) against hospitalised influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 and B among people aged ≥ 65 years. Patients swabbed within 7 days after onset of symptoms compatible with severe acute respiratory infection were included. Information on demographics, vaccination and underlying conditions was collected. Using logistic regression, we measured IVE adjusted for potential confounders. We included 355 influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 cases, 110 influenza B cases, and 1,274 controls. Adjusted IVE against influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 was 42% (95% confidence interval (CI): 22 to 57). It was 59% (95% CI: 23 to 78), 48% (95% CI: 5 to 71), 43% (95% CI: 8 to 65) and 39% (95% CI: 7 to 60) in patients with diabetes mellitus, cancer, lung and heart disease, respectively. Adjusted IVE against influenza B was 52% (95% CI: 24 to 70). It was 62% (95% CI: 5 to 85), 60% (95% CI: 18 to 80) and 36% (95% CI: -23 to 67) in patients with diabetes mellitus, lung and heart disease, respectively. 2015/16 IVE estimates against hospitalised influenza in elderly people was moderate against influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 and B, including among those with diabetes mellitus, cancer, lung or heart diseases.

  • COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness against symptomatic infection with SARS-CoV-2 BA.1/BA.2 lineages among adults and adolescents in a multicentre primary care study, Europe, December 2021 to June 2022
    Publication . Lanièce Delaunay, Charlotte; Martínez-Baz, Iván; Sève, Noémie; Domegan, Lisa; Mazagatos, Clara; Buda, Silke; Meijer, Adam; Kislaya, Irina; Pascu, Catalina; Carnahan, AnnaSara; Oroszi, Beatrix; Ilić, Maja; Maurel, Marine; Melo, Aryse; Sandonis Martín, Virginia; Trobajo-Sanmartín, Camino; Enouf, Vincent; McKenna, Adele; Pérez-Gimeno, Gloria; Goerlitz, Luise; de Lange, Marit; Rodrigues, Ana Paula; Lazar, Mihaela; Latorre-Margalef, Neus; Túri, Gergő; Castilla, Jesús; Falchi, Alessandra; Bennett, Charlene; Gallardo, Virtudes; Dürrwald, Ralf; Eggink, Dirk; Guiomar, Raquel; Popescu, Rodica; Riess, Maximilian; Horváth, Judit Krisztina; Casado, Itziar; García, M. del Carmen; Hooiveld, Mariëtte; Machado, Ausenda; Bacci, Sabrina; Kaczmarek, Marlena; Kissling, Esther
    Background: Scarce European data in early 2021 suggested lower vaccine effectiveness (VE) against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron lineages than previous variants. Aim: We aimed to estimate primary series (PS) and first booster VE against symptomatic BA.1/BA.2 infection and investigate potential biases. Methods: This European test-negative multicentre study tested primary care patients with acute respiratory symptoms for SARS-CoV-2 in the BA.1/BA.2-dominant period. We estimated PS and booster VE among adults and adolescents (PS only) for all products combined and for Comirnaty alone, by time since vaccination, age and chronic condition. We investigated potential bias due to correlation between COVID-19 and influenza vaccination and explored effect modification and confounding by prior SARS-CoV-2 infection. Results: Among adults, PS VE was 37% (95% CI: 24–47%) overall and 60% (95% CI: 44–72%), 43% (95% CI: 26–55%) and 29% (95% CI: 13–43%) < 90, 90–179 and ≥ 180 days post vaccination, respectively. Booster VE was 42% (95% CI: 32–51%) overall and 56% (95% CI: 47–64%), 22% (95% CI: 2–38%) and 3% (95% CI: −78% to 48%), respectively. Primary series VE was similar among adolescents. Restricting analyses to Comirnaty had little impact. Vaccine effectiveness was higher among older adults. There was no signal of bias due to correlation between COVID-19 and influenza vaccination. Confounding by previous infection was low, but sample size precluded definite assessment of effect modification. Conclusion: Primary series and booster VE against symptomatic infection with BA.1/BA.2 ranged from 37% to 42%, with similar waning post vaccination. Comprehensive data on previous SARS-CoV-2 infection would help disentangle vaccine- and infection-induced immunity.

    Key Points: - Question: What was the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines administered in autumn and winter 2022 to 2023 against symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection among people aged 60 years or older in Europe, and how did different exposed or reference groups affect effectiveness? - Findings: In this case-control study of 9308 primary care patients at 11 European sites, within 3 months of vaccination, all COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness (CVE) estimates were 29% to 39% against SARS-CoV-2 viruses and 44% to 52% against the XBB variants. All point estimates decreased by time after vaccination, with no vaccine protection after 6 months. - Meaning: Findings of this study suggest that COVID-19 vaccination campaigns should precede peaks in SARS-CoV-2 incidence and that effectiveness of new vaccines against emerging variants should be continually monitored using seasonal CVE approaches.

    Introduction: In July and August 2021, the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant dominated in Europe. Aim: Using a multicentre test-negative study, we measured COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness (VE) against symptomatic infection. Methods: Individuals with COVID-19 or acute respiratory symptoms at primary care/community level in 10 European countries were tested for SARS-CoV-2. We measured complete primary course overall VE by vaccine brand and by time since vaccination. Results: Overall VE was 74% (95% CI: 69–79), 76% (95% CI: 71–80), 63% (95% CI: 48–75) and 63% (95% CI: 16–83) among those aged 30–44, 45–59, 60–74 and ≥ 75 years, respectively. VE among those aged 30–59 years was 78% (95% CI: 75–81), 66% (95% CI: 58–73), 91% (95% CI: 87–94) and 52% (95% CI: 40–61), for Comirnaty, Vaxzevria, Spikevax and COVID-19 Vaccine Janssen, respectively. VE among people 60 years and older was 67% (95% CI: 52–77), 65% (95% CI: 48–76) and 83% (95% CI: 64–92) for Comirnaty, Vaxzevria and Spikevax, respectively. Comirnaty VE among those aged 30–59 years was 87% (95% CI: 83–89) at 14–29 days and 65% (95% CI: 56–71%) at ≥ 90 days between vaccination and onset of symptoms. Conclusions: VE against symptomatic infection with the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant varied among brands, ranging from 52% to 91%. While some waning of the vaccine effect may be present (sample size limited this analysis to only Comirnaty), protection was 65% at 90 days or more between vaccination and onset.

  • Establishing a novel European hospital surveillance platform in response to a newly emerging infection lessons from the I-MOVE-COVID-19 hospital network
    Publication . Ladbury, Georgia; Hamilton, Mark; Harvey, Ciaran; Mutch, Heather; McMahon, James; Mokogwu, Damilola; Sadiq, Fatima; Young, Johanna; Wallace, Lesley; Murray, Josie; Lopez‑Bernal, Jamie; Andrews, Nick; Castilla, Jesús; Casado, Itziar; Larrauri, Amparo; Mazagatos, Clara; Duval, Xavier; Bino, Silvia; Demuyser, Thomas; Machado, Ausenda; Mickiene, Aukse; Lazar, Mihaela; Stavaru, Crina; Rath, Barbara; Harrabi, Myriam; Rekacewicz, Claire; Kapisyszi, Perlat; Seyler, Lucie; Gómez, Verónica; Jancoriene, Ligita; Rose, Angela
    Background: The first signal of a new infection is often severe cases presenting at hospital. Enhanced surveillance of these cases is critical to learning more about disease epidemiology and patient outcomes, but nationallevel surveillance can lack power to draw conclusions. In response to the emergence of SARS-CoV-2, the Influenza-Monitoring Vaccine Effectiveness (I-MOVE) network, founded in 2007, expanded to establish the I-MOVE-COVID-19 Consortium in February 2020. The Consortium’s surveillance objectives included using pooled data to describe clinical and epidemiological characteristics of hospitalised COVID-19 patients across Europe, in order to contribute to the knowledge base, guide patient management, and inform public health response. Methods: Eleven study sites participated in the surveillance, including 23 hospitals across six EU Member States and Albania, and hospitals nationally in England and Scotland. A standardised protocol and dataset for collection was agreed by April 2020. In England and Scotland, data were generated by linkage of routine datasets; other sites used bespoke paper or electronic questionnaires. Data were submitted, pooled and analysed quarterly. Results: Data were received regarding 84,297 COVID-19 patients hospitalised between 1 February 2020 and 31 January 2021. Three surveillance bulletins were published between September 2020 and March 2021, providing key insights into severe COVID-19 at European level. However, the unexpected, overwhelming workload at participating sites, and difficulties securing data protection and ethics permissions, delayed data submissions and presented challenges for timely analysis. Conclusions: Building on an existing network facilitated a novel European multicentre hospital surveillance system to be implemented during a pandemic; however, timeliness was nonetheless problematic. In future, processes could be streamlined e.g. by developing pre-approved template protocols with information governance and ethical approvals in place during the inter- pandemic period.

  • Health and economic impact of seasonal influenza mass vaccination strategies in European settings: A mathematical modelling and cost-effectiveness analysis

    Introduction: Despite seasonal influenza vaccination programmes in most countries targeting individuals aged ≥ 65 (or ≥ 55) years and high risk-groups, significant disease burden remains. We explored the impact and cost-effectiveness of 27 vaccination programmes targeting the elderly and/or children in eight European settings (n = 205.8 million). Methods: We used an age-structured dynamic-transmission model to infer age- and (sub-)type-specific seasonal influenza virus infections calibrated to England, France, Ireland, Navarra, The Netherlands, Portugal, Scotland, and Spain between 2010/11 and 2017/18. The base-case vaccination scenario consisted of non-adjuvanted, non-high dose trivalent vaccines (TV) and no universal paediatric vaccination. We explored i) moving the elderly to "improved" (i.e., adjuvanted or high-dose) trivalent vaccines (iTV) or non-adjuvanted non-high-dose quadrivalent vaccines (QV); ii) adopting mass paediatric vaccination with TV or QV; and iii) combining the elderly and paediatric strategies. We estimated setting-specific costs and quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) gained from the healthcare perspective, and discounted QALYs at 3.0%. Results: In the elderly, the estimated numbers of infection per 100,000 population are reduced by a median of 261.5 (range across settings: 154.4, 475.7) when moving the elderly to iTV and by 150.8 (77.6, 262.3) when moving them to QV. Through indirect protection, adopting mass paediatric programmes with 25% uptake achieves similar reductions in the elderly of 233.6 using TV (range: 58.9, 425.6) or 266.5 using QV (65.7, 477.9), with substantial health gains from averted infections across ages. At €35,000/QALY gained, moving the elderly to iTV plus adopting mass paediatric QV programmes provides the highest mean net benefits and probabilities of being cost-effective in all settings and paediatric coverage levels. Conclusion: Given the direct and indirect protection, and depending on the vaccine prices, model results support a combination of having moved the elderly to an improved vaccine and adopting universal paediatric vaccination programmes across the European settings.

  • Low 2016/17 season vaccine effectiveness against hospitalised influenza A(H3N2) among elderly: awareness warranted for 2017/18 season
    Publication . Rondy, Marc; Gherasim, Alin; Casado, Itziar; Launay, Odile; Rizzo, Caterina; Pitigoi, Daniela; Mickiene, Aukse; Marbus, Sierk D; Machado, Ausenda; Syrjänen, Ritva K; Pem-Novose, Iva; Horváth, Judith Krisztina; Larrauri, Amparo; Castilla, Jesús; Vanhems, Philippe; Alfonsi, Valeria; Ivanciuc, Alina E; Kuliese, Monika; van Gageldonk-Lafeber, Rianne; Gomez, Veronica; Ikonen, Niina; Lovric, Zvjezdana; Ferenczi, Annamária; Moren, Alain; I-MOVE+ hospital working group
    In a multicentre European hospital study we measured influenza vaccine effectiveness (IVE) against A(H3N2) in 2016/17. Adjusted IVE was 17% (95% confidence interval (CI): 1 to 31) overall; 25% (95% CI: 2 to 43) among 65-79-year-olds and 13% (95% CI: -15 to 30) among those ≥ 80 years. As the A(H3N2) vaccine component has not changed for 2017/18, physicians and public health experts should be aware that IVE could be low where A(H3N2) viruses predominate.

  • Vaccine effectiveness against influenza A(H3N2) and B among laboratory‐confirmed, hospitalised older adults, Europe, 2017‐18: A season of B lineage mismatched to the trivalent vaccine
    Publication . Rose, Angela M.C.; Kissling, Esther; Gherasim, Alin; Casado, Itziar; Bella, Antonino; Launay, Odile; Lazăr, Mihaela; Marbus, Sierk; Kuliese, Monika; Syrjänen, Ritva; Machado, Ausenda; Kurečić Filipović, Sanja; Larrauri, Amparo; Castilla, Jesús; Alfonsi, Valeria; Galtier, Florence; Ivanciuc, Alina; Meijer, Adam; Mickiene, Aukse; Ikonen, Niina; Gómez, Verónica; Lovrić Makarić, Zvjezdana; Moren, Alain; Valenciano, Marta; I-MOVE Hospital study team
    Background: Influenza A(H3N2), A(H1N1)pdm09 and B viruses co-circulated in Europe in 2017-18, predominated by influenza B. WHO-recommended, trivalent vaccine components were lineage-mismatched for B. The I-MOVE hospital network measured 2017-18 seasonal influenza vaccine effectiveness (IVE) against influenza A(H3N2) and B among hospitalised patients (≥65 years) in Europe. Methods: Following the same generic protocol for test-negative design, hospital teams in nine countries swabbed patients ≥65 years with recent onset (≤7 days) severe acute respiratory infection (SARI), collecting information on demographics, vaccination status and underlying conditions. Cases were RT-PCR positive for influenza A(H3N2) or B; controls: negative for any influenza. "Vaccinated" patients had SARI onset >14 days after vaccination. We measured pooled IVE against influenza, adjusted for study site, age, sex, onset date and chronic conditions. Results: We included 3483 patients: 376 influenza A(H3N2) and 928 B cases, and 2028 controls. Most (>99%) vaccinated patients received the B lineage-mismatched trivalent vaccine. IVE against influenza A(H3N2) was 24% (95% CI: 2 to 40); 35% (95% CI: 6 to 55) in 65- to 79-year-olds and 14% (95% CI: -22 to 39) in ≥80-year-olds. Against influenza B, IVE was 30% (95% CI: 16 to 41); 37% (95% CI: 19 to 51) in 65- to 79-year-olds and 19% (95% CI: -7 to 38) in ≥80-year-olds. Conclusions: IVE against influenza B was similar to A(H3N2) in hospitalised older adults, despite trivalent vaccine and circulating B lineage mismatch, suggesting some cross-protection. IVE was lower in those ≥80 than 65-79 years. We reinforce the importance of influenza vaccination in older adults as, even with a poorly matched vaccine, it still protects one in three to four of this population from severe influenza.

    The I-MOVE-COVID-19 network collates epidemiological and clinical information on patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19), including severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virological characterisation in 11 European countries [1]. One component of I-MOVE-COVID-19 is the multicentre vaccine effectiveness (VE) study at primary care/outpatient level in nine European study sites in eight countries. We measured overall and product-specific COVID-19 VE against symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection among those aged 65 years and older. We also measured VE by time since vaccination.
