- VE was estimated using the test-negative design comparing vaccination odds among persons who tested positive for influenza to vaccination odds among persons who tested negative for any influenza and SARS-CoV-2. Calculated as (1 − adjusted OR ) × 100%; ORs were estimated using logistic regression.
- Subtype was not available for VISION.
