[SIZE=+0]Preliminary results for the 2014/15 season indicate low to null effect of vaccination against influenza A(H3N2)-related disease. As of week 5 2015, there have been 1,136 hospital admissions, 210 were due to influenza and 98% of subtype A strains were H3. Adjusted influenza vaccine effectiveness was 33% (range: 6?53%) overall and 40% (range: 13% to 59%) in those 65 years and older. Vaccination reduced by 44% (28?68%) the probability of admission with influenza.[/SIZE]
