Estimation of Reduction in Influenza Vaccine Effectiveness Due to Egg-Adaptation Changes—Systematic Literature Review and Expert Consensus

Influenza vaccines are the main tool to prevent morbidity and mortality of the disease; however, egg adaptations associated with the choice of the manufacturing process may reduce their effectiveness. This study aimed to estimate the impact of egg adaptations and antigenic drift on the effectiveness of trivalent (TIV) and quadrivalent (QIV) influenza vaccines.
