Mid-Season Influenza Vaccine Effectiveness Estimates for the 2013-2014 Influenza Season

Abstract

The Department of Defense conducts influenza surveillance for military members, dependents, and select civilian populations. The Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center, Naval Health Research Center, and the United States Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine conduct annual mid-season influenza vaccine effectiveness (VE) analyses for the aforementioned populations. This report describes VE estimates at the midpoint for the 2013 2014 influenza season (29 September 2013 to 15 February 2014). Taken as a whole, moderate influenza VE of 50-60% was observed in 2013 2014 among the study populations.
