Provider recommendations and offers for influenza vaccination improve adult influenza vaccination coverage. Analysis was performed to describe receipt of influenza vaccination recommendations and offers among adults who visited a healthcare provider (HCP) during the 2011–2012 influenza season and describe differences between those receiving and not receiving recommendations and offers for influenza...
To estimate the effectiveness of influenza vaccine against medical care visits for laboratory-confirmed influenza in young children we conducted a matched case–control study in children with acute respiratory illness or fever from 2005–2007. Influenza vaccine effectiveness (VE) was calculated using cases with laboratory-confirmed influenza and controls who tested negative for influenza. The effectiveness...
Despite preventive efforts, influenza epidemics are responsible for substantial morbidity and mortality every year in the United States (US). Vaccination strategies to reduce disease burden have been implemented. However, no previous studies have systematically estimated the annual economic burden of influenza epidemics, an estimate necessary to guide policy makers effectively.We estimate age- and...
During the 2003–2004 influenza season, we conducted a case–control study of influenza vaccine effectiveness (VE) among Colorado residents aged 50–64 years. Cases (n=330) were identified from laboratory-confirmed influenza reports to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE). Controls (n=1055) were recruited by random-digit dial telephone survey. VE was 60% (43–72%) and 48% (21–66%)...

The encouragement was precipitated by studies showing healthy young children at high risk for influenza-related hospitalizations. Objectives: To assess the vaccine needed and the feasibility of implementing...
