VE is estimated as 100% × (1 − odds ratio [ratio of the odds of being vaccinated among outpatients with influenza-positive test results on the CDC’s real-time reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction to the odds of being vaccinated among outpatients with influenza-negative test results]); odds ratios were estimated by using logistic regression. Adjusted for study site, age group, sex, race and/or ethnicity, self-rated general health, number of days from illness onset to enrollment, and month of illness using logistic regression. NA, not applicable.
