| Popis: | Background Individuals with health conditions have shown higher rates of influenza-related morbidity and mortality compared to healthy individuals and are often prioritized for influenza vaccination. However, vaccination with egg-derived standard quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccines (IIV4) has shown to be less effective in adults ≥65 years of age largely due to immunosenecence. Two enhanced vaccines, the MF59®-adjuvanted trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (aIIV3) and a high-dose trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (HD-IIV3), were developed to provide adults ≥65 years with increased protection. The objective of this study was to determine the relative vaccine effectiveness (rVE) of aIIV3 versus IIV4 and HD-IIV3 in preventing influenza-related medical encounters in high-risk adults ≥65 years. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted among adults ≥65 years with ≥1 health condition with a record of receiving either aIIV3, IIV4 or HD-IIV3 in the 2017–18 or 2018–19 influenza seasons. Patient-level electronic medical records linked to pharmacy and medical claims were used to ascertain exposure, outcome and covariate information. The primary outcome was influenza-related medical encounters in primary care and hospital (ICD-10 codes J09*–J11*). Inverse probability of treatment weighting was used to obtain odds ratios (ORs) adjusted for age, sex, race, ethnicity, geographic region, comorbidities and week of vaccination for each health condition. rVE was determined using the formula (1-OR)*100 and reported with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results Overall, 1,755,420 individuals with ≥1 health condition were included for analysis in the 2017–18 season and 2,055,012 individuals in the 2018–19 season. In both seasons, high-risk subjects who received aIIV3 had statistically significantly greater reduction in influenza-related medical encounters as compared to IIV4 (Table 1). Non-statistically significant estimates preclude definitive conclusions for comparisons with HD-IIV3. Table 1. Adjusted relative vaccine effectiveness (rVE) of aIIV3 versus comparators in high-risk patients in the 2017–2018 and 2018–2019 influenza seasons in the U.S. Conclusion The results of this study support the use of aIIV3 in adults ≥65 years of age at high risk for influenza complications and provides further evidence supporting aIIV3 as an effective public health measure against influenza.
