Adjusted IVE was 17% (95% confidence interval (CI): 1 to 31) overall; 25% (95% CI: 2 to 43) among 65-79-year-olds and 13% (95% CI: -15 to 30) among those ≥ 80 years. As the A(H3N2) vaccine component has not changed for 2017/18, physicians and public health experts should be aware that IVE could be low where A(H3N2) viruses predominate.engVoRhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/A(H3N2)InfluenzaCases controlElderlyHospitalisationVaccine effectivenessAdolescentAdultAgedEuropean UnionFemaleHospitalizationHospitalsHumansInfluenza A Virus, H3N2 SubtypeInfluenza VaccinesInfluenza, HumanMaleMiddle AgedOutcome Assessment, Health CareSeasonsLow 2016/17 season vaccine effectiveness against hospitalised influenza A(H3N2) among elderly: awareness warranted for 2017/18 seasonAtribución 4.0 Internacional29043961224110.2807/1560-7917.ES.2017.22.41.17-006451560-7917Euro surveillance : bulletin Europeen sur les maladies transmissibles = European communicable disease bulletinopen access
