Nice multi-country European collaboration published in @eurosurveillance.org on influenza vaccine effectiveness (VE) "Interim VE estimates from 8 European studies indicate an all-age influenza A VE of 32-53% in primary care and 33-56% in hospital settings" www.eurosurveillance.org/content/10.2...

Sometimes, the flu #vaccine doesn't match well with circulating strains and can offer little protection. But, particularly this season, always better to be vaccinated.
