Background: During the 2007-08 influenza season, we reported an interim vaccine effectiveness (VE) estimate of 44% for preventing medically attended influenza. In this analysis we report results for the entire season and compare them with the interim estimate.Methods: Patients with feverishness, chills, or cough = 50 years old. VE was 41% (95% Cl, 24-53%) for influenza A and 31% (95% Cl, 3-51%) for influenza B. All 24 characterized influenza A viruses were antigenically matched to the H3N2 vaccine strain, although 14 viruses exhibited mild antigenic drift. There was a lineage mismatch with the vaccine strain for all 39 characterized influenza B viruses.Conclusions: The 2007-08 influenza vaccine provided modest protection against medically attended influenza in this population. The interim estimate of VE after 17 days closely approximated the final season VE, supporting the potential use of interim VE estimates while influenza seasons are still in progress.
