Results

NAb geometric mean titers against H1N1 WI/22, H3N2 BA/22, H3N2 CR/23, H3N2-K BA/25, and H3N2-K NY/25 were 200, 231, 119, 50, and 60 at baseline and increased to 582, 661, 356, 85, and 119 at peak immunogenicity, respectively (...), reflecting a significant 2.86- to 2.99-fold increase in NAb titers against the prior H1N1 and H3N2 strains but a lower 1.70- to 1.98-fold increase in NAb titers against the H3N2-K strains. Baseline antibody titers to the H3N2-K strains were 2.0- to 4.6-fold lower than to the prior H1N1 and H3N2 strains (P < .001), and peak antibody titers to the H3N2-K strains following vaccination were 3.0- to 7.8-fold lower than to the prior H1N1 and H3N2 strains (P < .001).
