News Context: However, not everyone shows the same antibody responses to the vaccine. The results, published in Vaccine, found that women who hadn't received a flu shot in the previous year had better initial immune responses to the vaccine. For those who had received a flu shot the previous year, their peak antibody responses were weakened.
Paper Context: At baseline, women vaccinated the previous year had greater odds of having a higher HAI titer for A/H1N1 (p = 0.001), A/H3N2 (p = 0.04), and B/Massachusetts (p = 0.01), with a similar but non-significant trend for B/Brisbane (p = 0.12) compared to women not vaccinated the previous year ( Fig. 1; Table 3 ). Per logistic regression utilizing the same covariates, women with prior vaccination had higher seroprotection rates (i.e., titer
