Case-control study designed to determine the effectiveness of an MF59-adjuvanted influenza vaccine in the population aged 65 years and older living in the community. Detailed health histories were obtained on both cases and controls that included a functional measure of co-morbidity (Barthel Index). Subjects were all eligible persons admitted to various hospitals with a diagnosis of pneumonia during the winter months and were matched by sex, hospital and admission week to controls admitted for non-medical reasons. The influenza vaccination programme using the MF59-adjuvanted influenza vaccine significantly reduced the probability of being hospitalised for pneumonia in the elderly over 64 years of age, even in a season with a low influenza activity, during which the predominant circulating strains were types B and A (H1N1).
