Repeated Annual Influenza Vaccination in Older Adults Induces Comparable Seroprotection Despite Reduced Antibody Fold Rise: A 6-Month Prospective Cohort Study in China.
Article in Vaccines, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAnnual influenza vaccination is a WHO-recommended strategy for preventing seasonal influenza and its associated severe complications in older adults. Nevertheless, influenza vaccine effectiveness is often reduced in the elderly population and there remains an ongoing debate regarding whether repeated vaccination attenuates immune response.
methodsWe conducted a prospective observational study to estimate the trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine-induced antibodies in older adults vaccinated for two consecutive years (2022-2023 and 2023-2024) and those with vaccines administered in a single season (2023-2024). Serum samples were collected concurrently with vaccination and at 30 and 90/180 days post-vaccination for hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) tests.
resultsThe participants administered two consecutive vaccinations had markedly higher pre-vaccination geometric mean titers (GMTs) and seroprotection rates for influenza A/H1N1 and A/H3N2. However, no intergroup differences were observed for H1N1, H3N2 or B/Victoria strains at 30, 90, or 180 days post-vaccination. At 30 days post-vaccination, participants with two consecutive influenza vaccinations showed significantly lower fold rises against the three strains and seroconversion rates (SCRs) for H1N1 and H3N2. The results of the subgroup analyses were largely consistent with the primary findings, with the exception of the A/H1N1 strain among individuals with pre-vaccination titers <1:10 at day 30.
conclusionsImmune responses vary by antigen type, and the influenza vaccine induces comparable serological response in the elderly, irrespective of their prior vaccination history.
