Efficacy of the trivalent and quadrivalent influenza vaccines relative to one another among adults 60 years of age and older: A systematic review and network meta-analysis
Summary This network meta-analysis aimed to compare the efficacy of influenza vaccines of any valency for adults 60 years and older. It demonstrated efficacy associated with IIV3-HD and RIV vaccines in protecting older persons against LCI, and RIV vaccine may reduce all-cause mortality when compared with other vaccines, but the evidence is uncertain. However, differences…
