Abstract
Background: During routine mass live-attenuated influenza vaccination (LAIV) for military personnel, emergent deployment for Ebola humanitarian assistance (OUA) required mass yellow fever vaccination (YF17D), often < 4-weeks recommended timing post-LAIV-triggering concerns for immune interference. We compared YF17D seroconversion rates in personnel who received YF17D as recommended (vaccinated by guidelines [VBG]) to those who received the vaccine outside the recommended timing following LAIV (not vaccinated by guidelines [NVBG]).
Methods: OUA deploying personnel who received LAIV simultaneously or before YF17D and had pre- and post-vaccination archived serum were included. VBG was defined as YF17D given concurrently or ≥ 30 days post-LAIV and NVBG as YF17D given 1-29 days post-LAIV. YF17D seroresponse was determined by screening ELISA confirmed with plaque reduction neutralization testing (PRNT) on positive ELISA samples. Exclusion criteria were prior YF17D and pre-vaccination YF17D positive PRNT.
Results: Of the 660 personnel included, 507 were VBG and 153 were NVBG. Median age was 25 years for both groups. Men accounted for 84% of those VBG and 79% NVBG (p = 0.194). Seroconversion rates were 97.8% for VBG and 95.4% for NVBG (p = 0.15). Multivariate logistic regression revealed that YF17D on days 7-21 post-LAIV (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.304, p = 0.017; confidence interval [CI] 0.114-0.810) and female sex (aOR 0.330, p = 0.026; CI 0.124-0.879) were associated with decreased seroresponse.
Conclusions: In this healthy, young adult military population, there was high seroconversion following YF17D when administered simultaneously and at various time points after LAIV. Slight decreases in seroresponse were seen in women and those receiving YF17D 7-21 days following LAIV.
