Comparative effectiveness of high-dose versus standard-dose influenza vaccine among patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis.
This study compared outcomes of routine dialysis patients who received either the standard dose vaccine (SDV) for influenza or a high-dose vaccine (HDV). Out of 22,215 influenza patient-seasons among adults 65 years and older, 97.4% received SDV and 2.6% received HDV. There did not seem to be any additional protection provided by the HDV for all-cause mortality or influenza-related outcomes.

Direct, indirect, total, and overall effectiveness of the rotavirus vaccines for the prevention of gastroenteritis hospitalizations in privately insured US children, 2007-2010.
This study demonstrated how direct, indirect, total, and overall effectiveness estimates and absolute benefits of rotavirus vaccines vary through the years following vaccine introduction. It found that direct effectiveness of 1 or more doses of rotavirus vaccine in preventing rotavirus gastroenteritis hospitalizations ranged from 87 to 92 percent each year.
