6 Influenza (Flu) 3 Main Types A, B, (C) Surface proteins of influenza A (HA, NA) create virus serotypes H1N1 H2N2, etc Why Get the Flu Vaccine? , CDC estimates influenza vaccine prevented: 7.2 million illnesses 90,000 hospitalizations <50% of people age >6 mo vaccinated Reed C, et al. MMWR, Dec 12, 2014;63(49) Who Should be Vaccinated for Flu? All people older than 6 months Unless there is a contraindication Influenza Vaccine Strains for Flu Season Trivalent vaccine A/California/7/2009 (H1N1 like) A/Texas/50/2012 (H3N2 like) not a good match this year B/Massachusetts/2/2012 like For quadrivalent vaccine 2 A strains and 2 B strains B/Brisbane/60/2008 same as last year 6

MMWR, 2013;62 Cornia PB, et al. JAMA, 2010;304(8) 9

10 Pertussis Not Just for Kids Highly contagious to home contacts Adults may act as reservoirs of the disease to vulnerable populations Majority of deaths in infants <2 months Immunity for pertussis wanes after childhood vaccination Pertussis Vaccine Vaccine contains purified, detoxified pertussis antigens Childhood DTaP: diptheria toxoid, tetanus toxoid, and acellular pertussis (full dose) Adult/adolescent Td and Tdap: tetanus toxoid (full dose) and reduced dose diptheria toxoid +/ reduced dose acellular pertussis antigens Adacel: age Boostrix: >10 years Hewlett EL et al.

14 Case 53 yo man presents complaining of burning sensation over left chest. Nothing abnormal is seen on examination of the skin. 3 days later, a rash appears. Diagnosis? Varicella (Shingles/Zoster) Zoster Vaccine Chicken pox virus After chickenpox infection, the virus goes dormant and settles in the sensory nerves Decline in immunity with advanced age predisposes to reactivation of this virus (shingles/zoster) Zoster develops in 30% of people over a lifetime Pain persisting >120 days = Post herpetic neuralgia Seen in 13 40%; increases with advanced age Live attenuated virus vaccine Older adults need greater amount of live attenuated virus to produce a boost in their immunity Zoster vaccine contains more plaque forming units/dose than the chickenpox vaccine Vaccine boosts older adults waning immunity to prevent reactivation of varicella Kimberlin DW, et al. NEJM, 2007;356(13). 14

15 Varicella Zoster Vaccine The Evidence 38,546 adults Randomized to zoster vaccine vs. placebo Primary endpoint: burden of illness due to zoster Incidence, severity of pain, duration of pain Secondary endpoint: incidence of post herpetic neuralgia (pain >120 days) Varicella Zoster Vaccine The Evidence Results: followed median 3.12 years Incidence of zoster reduced by 51.3% Incidence of post herpetic neuralgia decreased by 66.5% Burden of illness due to zoster decreased by 61.1% Higher efficacy ages Oxman MN et al.
