Abstract

Background. Few data are available on the immunogenicity of repeated annual doses of influenza A(H1N1)pdm09-containing vaccines.Methods. We enrolled healthcare personnel (HCP) in direct patient-care during Fall 2010 at 2 centers with voluntary immunization. We verified the receipt of A(H1N1)pdm09-containing monovalent inactivated influenza vaccine (MIIV) and 2010-2011 trivalent inactivated vaccine (TIV). We performed hemagglutination-inhibition antibody (HI) assays on pre-season, post-TIV, and end-of-season sera. We compared the proportion of HCPs with HI titer ≥40 (HI≥40) against A(H1N1)pdm09 per receipt of prior-season-MIIV, current-season-TIV, both, or neither.Results. At pre-season (N=1,417), HI≥40 was significantly higher among those who received MIIV (34%) vs. those who did not (14%), adjusted-Relative Risk (ARR) (95% Confidence Interval (CI)): 3.26 (2.72-3.81). At post-TIV (N=865), HI≥40 was lower among HCP who received MIIV and TIV (66%) than among those receiving only TIV (85%), ARR (95% CI): 0.93 (0.84-0.997). At end-of-season (N=1,254), HI≥40 was 40% among those who received both MIIV and TIV and 67% among those receiving only TIV, ARR (95% CI): 0.76 (0.65-0.88); 52% among those who received MIIV only, and 12% among those receiving neither.Conclusions. HCP immunization programs should consider effects of host immune-response and vaccine antigenic-distance on immunogenicity of repeated annual doses of influenza vaccines.
