2014–2015 Influenza Vaccine Effectiveness in the United States by Vaccine Type

Key Points

Assess the effectiveness of 2014-2015 influenza vaccines against various virus types.
Analyzed vaccine performance among different influenza strains.
Evaluated protection levels specifically against influenza A/H3N2 and B.
Considered the impact of live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) usage in young children.
Limited protection against influenza A/H3N2 virus was observed.
Influenza B vaccine showed effective protection.
No support for preferential use of LAIV among young children.

The 2014-2015 influenza vaccines offered little protection against the predominant influenza A/H3N2 virus but were effective against influenza B. Preferential use of LAIV among young children was not supported.
