Relationships between current season pre-vaccination HAI antibody titers and interseason antibody decline (waning). Associations of current season pre-vaccination HAI antibody titers measured using prior season vaccine strain antigens with interseason antibody decline (waning) as indicated by the ratios shown in Table 2 were evaluated in univariate analyses. A IAV-H3N2: Spearman correlation coefficient between 2014–2015 (n = 49) was 0.30 (p = .04) and that between 2015–2016 (n = 52) was 0.23 (p = .10); B IBV: Spearman correlation coefficient between 2014–2015 (n = 49) was 0.49 (p < .01) and that between 2015–2016 (n = 52) was 0.34, (p = .02); C IAV-H1N1: Spearman correlation coefficient between 2016–2017 (n = 78) was 0.51 (p < .01)
