BACKGROUND: Antibody responses to non–egg-based standard-dose cell-culture influenza vaccine (containing 15 µg hemagglutinin [HA]/component) and recombinant vaccine (containing 45 µg HA/component) during consecutive seasons have not been studied in the United States.
METHODS: In a randomized trial of immunogenicity of quadrivalent influenza vaccines among healthcare personnel (HCP) aged 18–64 years over 2 consecutive seasons, HCP who received recombinant-HA influenza vaccine (RIV) or cell culture–based inactivated influenza vaccine (ccIIV) during the first season (year 1) were re-randomized the second season of 2019–2020 (year 2 [Y2]) to receive ccIIV or RIV, resulting in 4 ccIIV/RIV combinations.
In Y2, hemagglutination inhibition antibody titers against reference cell–grown vaccine viruses were compared in each ccIIV/RIV group with titers among HCP randomized both seasons to receive egg-based, standard-dose inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV) using geometric mean titer (GMT) ratios of Y2 post-vaccination titers.
RESULTS: Y2 data from 414 HCP were analyzed per protocol.
Compared with 60 IIV/IIV recipients, 74 RIV/RIV and 106 ccIIV/RIV recipients showed significantly elevated GMT ratios (Bonferroni corrected P < .007) against all components except A(H3N2).
Post-vaccination GMT ratios for ccIIV/ccIIV and RIV/ccIIV were not significantly elevated compared with IIV/IIV except for RIV/ccIIV against A(H1N1)pdm09.
CONCLUSIONS: In adult HCP, receipt of RIV in 2 consecutive seasons or the second season was more immunogenic than consecutive egg-based IIV for 3 of the 4 components of quadrivalent vaccine.
Immunogenicity of ccIIV/ccIIV was similar to that of IIV/IIV.
Differences in HA antigen content may play a role in immunogenicity of influenza vaccination in consecutive seasons.
