In this study we used the screening method to estimate the effectiveness of seasonal influenza vaccination during pregnancy in preventing influenza virus infection and influenza-related hospitalisation in infants under six months, in England in the 2013/14 season. Seasonal influenza vaccination in pregnancy was 71% (95% CI: 24?89%) effective in preventing infant influenza virus infection and 64% (95% CI: 6?86%) effective in preventing infant influenza hospitalisation, and should be recommended in pregnancy.
