This thesis presents a review of influenza epidemiology in Asia and the association between the pattern of seasonality and latitude and climate; a systematic review and meta-analysis of test-negative design (TND) case-control studies in order to generate summary estimates of changes in vaccine effectiveness with time since vaccination; results of a cohort study that investigates whether there is evidence for waning vaccine protection against severe influenza in Singapore; an observer-blind randomised clinical trial of annual versus biannual influenza vaccination in older adults, and further analysis of predictors of waning antibody titres post-vaccination.…”
