The univariate analysis showed a poor association (RR = 1.20; CI = 1.07-1.35) between delayed medical consultation and death.
We will use the VE outcomes above to calculate numbers needed to vaccinate to prevent one swab-determined influenza infection, hospitalisation, consultation and death.
There were no significant differences in symptom severity, the need for ICU admission, surgical consultation, or death based on strain type.
