Best Treatment Path for Best Tests for Influenza Vaccine

The CDC recommends that all people six months of age and older get an annual flu vaccine. The CDC states that the vaccination can reduce flu illnesses, doctors' visits, and missed work and school, plus prevent flu-related hospitalizations and save lives. About half of the U.S. population gets the flu vaccine and about 8% of Americans get the flu. On average, the vaccine is around 40% effective with better results for young children than adults age 65 and older. The vaccine's effectiveness each year depends on how well the vaccine matches up to the strains of the flu circulating that year.

Leading Recommendations

×

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that all people 6 months of age and older get a flu vaccine every year. The CDC states that the vaccination can reduce flu illnesses, doctors' visit, and missed work and school due to flu, as well as prevent flu-related hospitalizations and be life-saving in children. About half of the U.S. population gets the flu vaccine and about 8% of Americans get the flu. The vaccine's effectiveness varies by year, averaging about 40% and varying with the age of the vaccine recipients and how well the vaccine matches up to the strains of the flu in any given season.

Sourced from the CDC

Success Rate

×

Patient Summary: The flu vaccine's effectiveness, which shows how well the vaccine protects against influenza, is approximately 40%, varying with the age of the vaccine recipient and how well the vaccine matches up to the strains of the flu in any given season. Each year, around 8% of the U.S. population gets the flu and around 50% gets a flu vaccination.  

Professional Summary: The flu vaccine's effectiveness, which shows how well the vaccine protects against influenza, has been 40% on average in the flu seasons between 2011-2012 and 2018-2019 (see year-by-year data). Effectiveness varies with the age of vaccine recipients and how well the vaccine matches up to the strains of influenza in any given season. Flu vaccine effectiveness is estimated by the CDC using the test negative design, comparing proportions (odds) of influenza vaccination among patients with and without influenza. Statistical methods are used to account for differences in age, race and underlying medical conditions that might influence vaccine effectiveness. Estimates are reported annually, and often, an early estimate is reported during the season. Since the match between circulating and vaccine viruses is not known before the season, annual estimates of vaccine effectiveness give a real-world look at how well the vaccine protects against influenza caused by circulating viruses each season.

The CDC reports that approximately 8% of the U.S. population contracts the flu each year, and 45% of adults 18 and older and 62.6% of children ages 6 months to 17 years receive the flu vaccine.
