Assessing Fever Frequency After Pediatric Live Attenuated Versus Inactivated Influenza Vaccination.

ABSTRACT: Background:Some studies have found a higher frequency of fever with trivalent live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) than with inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV), but quadrivalent LAIV has not been assessed. Understanding fever is important for safety reviews and for parents and providers. In addition, there have been only a limited number of studies in which text messaging was used for vaccine adverse-event (AE) surveillance. Methods:We conducted a prospective observational study in 3 community clinics in New York City to assess post-influenza vaccination fever in 24- to 59-month-olds during the 2013-2014 season. Enrolled families of children who received quadrivalent LAIV (LAIV4) or IIV (trivalent IIV3 or quadrivalent IIV4) replied to text messages that assessed their temperature on vaccination night and the next 10 nights (days 0 to 10); missing data were collected via telephone and a diary. We compared frequencies of fever (temperature ? 100.4°F) according to vaccine group on days 0 to 2 and 3 to 10 by using ?2 and multivariate log-binomial regression adjusted for age, previous influenza vaccination, and vaccine coadministration. We also assessed outcomes using all sources versus only text messages. Results:Most (84.1% [n = 540]) eligible parents enrolled. Fever frequencies on days 0 to 2 did not differ between LAIV4 and any IIV (3.8% vs 5.7%, respectively; adjusted relative risk [aRR] [95% confidence interval], 0.60 [0.25-1.46]), between LAIV4 and IIV4 (4.2% vs 7.1%, respectively; aRR, 0.58 [0.19-1.72]), or between IIV4 and IIV3 (7.1% vs 6.0%, respectively; aRR, 1.02 [0.30-3.46]). The findings were similar when all data sources versus text-message data alone were used. There were no significant differences on days 3 to 10. Conclusions:Postvaccination fever frequencies were low overall and did not differ according to influenza vaccine type during the 2013-2014 influenza season. The similarity of results when data were limited to text messages lends support to its use for surveillance of vaccine adverse events.

Project description:ImportanceSome studies have reported negative effects of prior-season influenza vaccination. Prior-season influenza vaccination effects on vaccine effectiveness (VE) in children are not well understood.ObjectiveTo assess the association of prior-season influenza vaccination with subsequent VE in children aged 2 to 17 years.Design, setting, and participantsThis multiseason, test-negative case-control study was conducted in outpatient clinics at 4 US sites among children aged 2 to 17 years with a medically attended febrile acute respiratory illness. Participants were recruited during the 2013-2014, 2014-2015, and 2015-2016 seasons when influenza circulated locally. Cases were children with influenza confirmed by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. Test-negative control individuals were children with negative test results for influenza.ExposuresVaccination history, including influenza vaccine type received in the enrollment season (live attenuated influenza vaccine [LAIV], inactivated influenza vaccine [IIV], or no vaccine) and season before enrollment (LAIV, IIV, or no vaccine), determined from medical records and immunization registries.Main outcomes and measuresLAIV and IIV effectiveness by influenza type and subtype (influenza A[H1N1]pdm09, influenza A[H3N2], or influenza B), estimated as 100 × (1 - odds ratio) in a logistic regression model with adjustment for potential confounders. Prior season vaccination associations were assessed with an interaction term.ResultsOf 3369 children (1749 [52%] male; median age, 6.6 years [range, 2-17 years]) included in the analysis, 772 (23%) had a positive test result for influenza and 1674 (50%) were vaccinated in the enrollment season. Among LAIV recipients, VE against influenza A(H3N2) was higher among children vaccinated in both the enrollment and 1 prior season (50.3% [95% CI, 17.0% to 70.2%]) than among those without 1 prior season vaccination (-82.4% [95% CI, -267.5% to 9.5%], interaction P < .001). The effectiveness of LAIV against influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 was not associated with prior season vaccination among those with prior season vaccination (47.5% [95% CI, 11.4% to 68.9%]) and among those without prior season vaccination (7.8% [95% CI, -101.9% to 57.9%]) (interaction P = .37). Prior season vaccination was not associated with effectiveness of IIV against influenza A(H3N2) (38.7% [95% CI, 6.8% to 59.6%] among those with prior-season vaccination and 23.2% [95% CI, -38.3% to 57.4%] among those without prior-season vaccination, interaction P = .16) or with effectiveness of IIV against influenza A[H1N1]pdm09 (72.4% [95% CI, 56.0% to 82.7%] among those with prior season vaccination and 67.5% [95% CI, 32.1% to 84.4%] among those without prior season vaccination, interaction P = .93). Residual protection from prior season vaccination only (no vaccination in the enrollment season) was observed for influenza B (LAIV: 60.0% [95% CI, 36.8% to 74.7%]; IIV: 60.0% [36.9% to 74.6%]). Similar results were observed in analyses that included repeated vaccination in 2 and 3 prior seasons.Conclusions and relevanceInfluenza VE varied by influenza type and subtype and vaccine type, but prior-season vaccination was not associated with reduced VE. These findings support current recommendations for annual influenza vaccination of children.
