- Low 2016/17 season vaccine effectiveness against hospitalised influenza A(H3N2) among elderly: awareness warranted for 2017/18 seasonPublication . 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 groupIn 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.
- Low 2018/19 vaccine effectiveness against influenza A(H3N2) among 15-64-year-olds in Europe: exploration by birth cohortPublication . Kissling, Esther; Pozo, Francisco; Buda, Silke; Vilcu, Ana-Maria; Gherasim, Alin; Brytting, Mia; Domegan, Lisa; Gómez, Verónica; Meijer, Adam; Lazar, Mihaela; Vučina, Vesna Višekruna; Dürrwald, Ralf; van der Werf, Sylvie; Larrauri, Amparo; Enkirch, Theresa; O’Donnell, Joan; Guiomar, Raquel; Hooiveld, Mariëtte; Petrović, Goranka; Stoian, Elena; Penttinen, Pasi; Valenciano, Marta; I-MOVE primary care study teamIntroduction: Influenza A(H3N2) clades 3C.2a and 3C.3a co-circulated in Europe in 2018/19. Immunological imprinting by first childhood influenza infection may induce future birth cohort differences in vaccine effectiveness (VE). Aim: The I-MOVE multicentre primary care test-negative study assessed 2018/19 influenza A(H3N2) VE by age and genetic subgroups to explore VE by birth cohort. Methods: We measured VE against influenza A(H3N2) and (sub)clades. We stratified VE by usual age groups (0–14, 15–64, ≥ 65-years). To assess the imprint-regulated effect of vaccine (I-REV) hypothesis, we further stratified the middle-aged group, notably including 32–54-year-olds (1964–86) sharing potential childhood imprinting to serine at haemagglutinin position 159. Results: Influenza A(H3N2) VE among all ages was −1% (95% confidence interval (CI): −24 to 18) and 46% (95% CI: 8–68), −26% (95% CI: −66 to 4) and 20% (95% CI: −20 to 46) among 0–14, 15–64 and ≥ 65-year-olds, respectively. Among 15–64-year-olds, VE against clades 3C.2a1b and 3C.3a was 15% (95% CI: −34 to 50) and −74% (95% CI: −259 to 16), respectively. VE was −18% (95% CI: −140 to 41), −53% (95% CI: −131 to −2) and −12% (95% CI: −74 to 28) among 15–31-year-olds (1987–2003), 32–54-yearolds (1964–86) and 55–64-year-olds (1954–63), respectively. Discussion: The lowest 2018/19 influenza A(H3N2) VE was against clade 3C.3a and among those born 1964–86, corresponding to the I-REV hypothesis. The low influenza A(H3N2) VE in 15–64-year-olds and the public health impact of the I-REV hypothesis warrant further study.
- Start of the 2014/15 influenza season in Europe: drifted influenza A(H3N2) viruses circulate as dominant subtypePublication . Broberg, E.; Snacken, R.; Adlhoch, C.; Beauté, J.; Galinska, M.; Pereyaslov, D.; Brown, C.; Penttinen, P.; WHO European Region and European Influenza Surveillance NetworkThe influenza season 2014/15 started in Europe in week 50 2014 with influenza A(H3N2) viruses predominating. The majority of the A(H3N2) viruses characterised antigenically and/or genetically differ from the northern hemisphere vaccine component which may result in reduced vaccine effectiveness for the season. We therefore anticipate that this season may be more severe than the 2013/14 season. Treating influenza with antivirals in addition to prevention with vaccination will be important.
