| Abstract: | 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%) among those without and with high-risk medical conditions, respectively. VE was 90% (68-97%) and 36% (0-63%) against influenza-related hospitalization for persons without and with high-risk conditions, respectively. |
