Influenza vaccine failure in the tropics: a retrospective cohort study of waning effectiveness.

abstract：:As influenza vaccination is now widely recommended, randomized clinical trials are no longer ethical in many populations. Therefore, observational studies on patients seeking medical care for acute respiratory illnesses (ARIs) are a popular option for estimating influenza vaccine effectiveness (VE). We developed a pro...
