Past Seasons Vaccine Effectiveness Estimates
These pages includes information about the estimated seasonal influenza vaccine effectiveness from past seasons, including tables of the estimated vaccine effectiveness (and 95% credible interval [Cr I]) by age group and virus subtype. Information on how these estimates are calculated can be found on CDC’s web page How CDC Estimates vaccine efficacy and effectiveness.

* Vaccine effectiveness estimates for 2018-2019 are preliminary estimates and will be updated with final estimates at the end of the 2018-2019 U.S. influenza season.
* From 2004-05 through 2010-11, the Network also enrolled inpatients.
† Vaccine effectiveness (VE) estimates for the 2008-2009 flu season have not yet been published.
‡ Number of patients used in VE calculation.
