  2. Virologic Surveillance

  3. Antigenic CharacterizationSeptember 30, 2012 – February 16, 2013 • Influenza A • 2009 H1N1 • 86/86 (100%) characterized A/California/7/2009-like, the H1N1 component of the 2012-13 N. Hemisphere vaccine • H3N2 • 740/744 (99.5%) characterized as A/Victoria/361/2011-like the H3N2 component of the 2012-13 N. Hemisphere vaccine • Influenza B • Yamagata lineage • 251/355 (71%) are from the Yamagata lineage and characterized as B/Wisconsin/1/2010-like the influenza B component of the 2012-13 N. Hemisphere vaccine • Victoria lineage • 104/355 (29%) tested have been from the Victoria lineage of viruses

  4. Antiviral ResistanceSeptember 30, 2012 – February 16, 2013 • High levels of resistance to the adamantanes (amantadine and rimantadine) persist among pH1N1 and influenza A (H3N2) viruses currently circulating globally.

  12. Previously Reported Deaths Newly Reported Deaths Number of Influenza-Associated Pediatric Deaths by Week of Death 2009–10 season to February 16, 2013 2009-10 Number of Deaths Reported = 282 2010-11 Number of Deaths Reported = 122 2011-12 Number of Deaths Reported = 34 2012-13 Number of Deaths Reported = 78

  13. Pneumonia and Influenza Mortality in 122 U.S. Cities2007–08 to February 16, 2013 Epidemic Threshold Seasonal Baseline 2008 2010 2009 2012 2013 2011

  14. Why Did We Have So Much Flu This Season? • Different H3N2 strain compared to last year • A/Vic/361-like viruses that are circulating this year are different from the previous antigenic variant A/Perth/09.   The Perth/09 circulated from April 09 until last year. • Intensity of influenza activity has been overall fairly low in the last two seasons.  When we have a few successive years without intense H3N2 activity we have more susceptibles • H3N2 seasons are always more “severe” and cause more hospitalizations and deaths than either influenza B or H1N1 • Even if the vaccine is antigenically similar, only ~50% of population is vaccinated leaving half of all Americans unprotected

  15. Influenza Activity Summary • Influenza activity in the US during the 2012–13 season began approximately 4 weeks earlier than usual, and occurred at moderately high levels • Activity increased in late November and peaked in late December • Activity continues in much of the country especially the west • Influenza A (H3N2) viruses have predominated overall, but influenza B viruses have also circulated • This influenza season has been moderately severe with high rates of influenza hospitalization and a large proportion of deaths attributed to pneumonia and influenza in seniors

  18. US Flu VE Network: Methods • Purpose: Estimate VE for prevention of outpatient healthcare visits due to influenza • Design:Prospective case-control study • Cases: Medically attended ARI and RT-PCR influenza • Controls: Medically attended ARI but negative for influenza • Interim vaccination status: Confirmed by medical record or registry (3 sites) and by self-report (2 sites) • Immunization: 1+ dose of vaccine ≥14 from illness onset • Analysis: VE = (1 – adjusted OR) x 100% • Standard covariates: age, site, and days from illness onset to enrollment • Adjusted for potential confounding by race/ethnicity and self-rated health

  19. Cases enrolled by (sub)type to date Among the 751 influenza A virus infections, 560 (75%) have been subtyped to date; 546 (98%) were due to A(H3N2) viruses.

  20. Mid-season adjusted VE (95% CI) against A and B

  21. Mid-season adjusted VE (95% CI) against A(H3N2) only and B only by age Age: (cases; controls)

  22. Conclusions • Adjusted VE against influenza A and B was 56% (47-63%) • Similar to earlier unadjusted VE of 62% (51-71%) against A and B • Vaccination reduced the risk of outpatient medical visits: • Due to influenza A(H3N2) by half (47%); consistent for ages <65 • Due to influenza B by two-thirds (67%); consistent for all ages • Similar to other interim estimates from this season • Canada: VE against A(H3N2) = 45% (13%–66%) • UK: VE against A = 49% (-2%-75%) and against B = 52% (23%-70%) • I-MOVE: VE against A and B = 62% (21%-82%)

  23. Conclusions • Sub-optimal VE against A(H3N2) among adults aged 65+ • Similar to interim VE against A(H3N2) among elderly in Denmark • Limits and next steps • Pending full enrollment from entire season • Missing chronic medical conditions, vaccine type, and prior vaccination status until final data set • Additional potential confounders will be considered • Implications • Vaccination beneficial, especially among younger age groups • Need more effective vaccines and vaccination strategies • Need better understanding of factors that modify VE

  27. Numbers of influenza-positive medically attended ARI cases (orange bars) and influenza-negative controls (blue bars) by week of illness onset Week 3 only includes patients with completed laboratory tests and thus does not reflect all enrolled patients during that week across study sites.

  28. Mid-season adjusted VE against A and B † Vaccine effectiveness was estimated as 100% X (1 – odds ratio [ratio of odds of being vaccinated among the cases to the odds of being vaccinated among the controls]) using logistic regression. Multivariate models adjusted for age, race/ethnicity, study site, days from illness onset to enrollment, and self-rated health status. For the all ages models, age was represented as categories; age in years was used in age-stratified models.

  29. Mid-season VE against A(H3N2) only and B only by age † Adjusted for age, site, race/ethnicity, self-rated health, and days from onset
