Vaccines for preventing influenza in healthy children

Mitigation Measures for Pandemic Influenza in Italy: An Individual Based Model Considering Different Scenarios

“…In particular, we were interested in determining whether variations in VE by age could provide further insight into the impact of control measures. Systematic reviews have shown that the clinical effectiveness of seasonal influenza vaccine varies with age, with a higher VE in adults than in children and the elderly (70% vs. 59% and 40%, respectively) [15], [17], [27]. Our results show that these differences would not substantially affect the cumulative AR.…”

Influenza vaccine effectiveness in primary school children in Japan: a prospective cohort study using rapid diagnostic test results

“…In a review of randomized clinical studies assessing influenza VE in healthy children (B18 years), Manzoli et al [3] reported 67% (51-78%) of VE for laboratoryconfirmed influenza. Similarly, Smith et al [2] reported 59% (41-71%) of VE among healthy children (C2 years) in their meta-analysis. In our study, the point estimate of adjusted VE for total influenza was 21%, and that for influenza A and B was 44% and 5%, respectively (Table 3).…”

The burden of influenza in healthy children in South Australia

“…This may have implications for the target group recommendations for influenza immunisation. However, an assessment of the efficacy, feasibility, safety and cost‐effectiveness of vaccination in the Australian context would be required to support an expansion of the influenza immunisation program target groups to include those groups identified in this study 12 , 13 …”
