NASOPHARNGEAL swab for: Diagnostic tests: rapid antigen testing, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and rapid molecular assays, and Follow-up for outcome in infected cases Results: the study revealed that 361of 1271 (28.4%) had influenza, 89 patient had H1N1 (7%), 128 patients had influenza A (10.07%) & 144 patients had influenza B (11.32%), one case had H1N1 and Influnza B Detected, 61% had received vaccination., Among 361 diseased cases 137 receive vaccine (37.9%), outcome of case did not need hospital admission, complete recovery for a protective effectiveness of 61% (95% confidence interval [P =.03). overall protective effectiveness of influenza vaccine was 59.3% in children and 66.5% in adult so over all protection 63%, recommendation Routine annual influenza vaccination is recommended for all persons age 6 months and older %K Influenza %K Vaccination %K Protective Effectiveness %K Virus Infection %K Respiratory %U http://www.sciencepublishinggroup.com/journal/paperinfo?journalid=280&doi=10.11648/j.ijidt.20190402.11
