CHICAGO ? Adjuvant H1N1 influenza vaccines were effective during the 2009 pandemic but there are several questions still unanswered, according to a presentation here during the 51st Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy.
?What remains are several questions, several controversies and room for uncertainty that is inherent for observational research in comparison to a randomized trial,? Jacek Z. Mrukowicz, MD, PhD, Director of the Polish Institute for Evidence-Based Medicine, Krakow, Poland.
Mrukowicz reviewed what he considered to be the most important papers published in the past year related to vaccines, and he chose two papers about pandemic influenza vaccine. Poland was the only European Union country that refused to buy the pandemic vaccines. It was the decision of the minister of health, according to Mrukowicz.
He discussed the H1N1 vaccine observational case-control study by Skowronsk and colleagues that reported that the monovalent AS03 adjuvanted vaccine used in Canada during the 2009 pandemic was highly effective in prevention of medically-attended, laboratory-confirmed pandemic H1N1 illness, with specific reference to a single dose in children and young adults.
