*From 2004-2005 through 2010-2011, the Flu VE Network also enrolled inpatients.

**2020-2021 flu vaccine effectiveness was not estimated due to low influenza virus circulation during the 2020-2021 flu season.

Vaccine effectiveness (VE) estimates for the 2008-2009 flu season have not been published.

Number of patients used in VE calculation.

††VE estimates for 2022-2023 flu season are preliminary.

***Overall VE was calculated for this table to be consistent with what has been reported historically and is available for comparison with historical estimates. All other 2023-2024 VE estimates are reported by age group.

Information on how these estimates are calculated can be found on ÐÇ¿ÕÓéÀÖ¹ÙÍø's web page How Flu Vaccine Effectiveness and Efficacy are Measured.
