Monitoring the Safety of Influenza A (H1N1) 2009 Monovalent Vaccines Claudia Vellozzi, MD, MPH Immunization Safety Office Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Atlanta, GA November 18, 2009
2
Overall Objectives for 2009 H1N1 Vaccine Safety Monitoring Identify clinically significant adverse events following receipt of 2009 HINI vaccine in a timely manner Rapidly evaluate serious adverse events following receipt of 2009 H1N1 vaccine and determine public health importance Evaluate if there is a risk of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) associated with the 2009 H1N1 vaccine Communicate vaccine safety information in a clear and transparent manner to healthcare providers, public health officials, and the public
3
Today’s Objectives Describe the CDC’s Immunization Safety Office surveillance systems for monitoring the safety of 2009 H1N1 vaccine Provide preliminary data from each of these systems
5
Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD): Background Established in 1990 A collaborative project among CDC and 8 managed care organizations (MCOs) Allows for planned immunization safety studies as well as timely investigations arising from –hypotheses from medical literature and pre-licensure –reports to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) –changes in immunization schedules, or the introduction of new vaccines Since 2005, conducts routine Rapid Cycle Analysis (RCA) of newly licensed and approved vaccines or modifications to existing vaccine recommendations
6
VSD Population Collects medical care and vaccination data on more than 9.5 million members annually (3.1% of the US population) As of 12/31/2008 : 2,252,024 children (<18) enrolled –3.0% of US population 7,245,835 adults (≥18) enrolled –3.1% of US population Average yearly birth cohort ~ 95,000

28
Select Methods Using Vaccine Coverage Data Observed vs. historical GBS rates –Compares observed no. GBS cases occurring within 42 days of H1N1 vaccination to expected no. among vaccinees –Earliest incidence metric –Limitations: historical rate comparison (may not be valid comparison, different case finding) Initially only crude, or age-specific with assumptions on vaccine administration With BFRSS data, fewer assumptions needed for age-specific comparisons GBS rates in vaccinated vs. unvaccinated persons –Use BFRSS vaccine coverage data, calculate person-time exposed and unexposed to vaccine, calculate rates –Strength: rates in vaccinated and unvaccinated persons will both be calculated from active surveillance data –Limitations BRFSS data not available until mid-November and may only be available at the state level (not EIP catchment area specific) GBS rates in H1N1 vaccinated vs. seasonal vaccine recipients –Use BFRSS vaccine coverage data –Age-adjust

VSD 2009 H1N1 Vaccine Study Design and Analytic Plan Challenges for studying the safety of influenza vaccines –Confounding by indication –Vaccine recommendations have expanded and changed –Influenza vaccines are often given over a very short period of time. –Individuals may have received vaccine outside their MCO (count as unvaccinated) –Seasonality of adverse events may confound interpretation To address the challenges to monitor 2009 H1N1 safety more than one approach will be included in both: – Rapid Cycle Analyses (RCA) weekly surveillance (near real time and critical to rapid safety assessment) –End of season analysis
45
VSD Methodological approaches in evaluating H1N1 vaccine safety
46
VSD 2009 H1N1 Vaccine Adverse Event Definitions Risk periods (windows) –AE-specific as described in published studies or biologic plausibility –Length of windows – vary from 2 to 60 days –Day of vaccination included in the risk period if it is biologically plausible for AE to occur same day of vaccination (e.g., anaphylaxis). To improve the specificity –Limit to AEs occuring in inpatient or ED settings –First event to occur in a year For AEs that may have more than one “new” onset in a year a shorter period of time will be included in analysis (ex;wheezing, seizures)
47
How the VSD Evaluates Signals 1.Check data quality 2.Check inputs, background incidences, i.e. temporal trends 3.Check whether comparison groups are defined appropriately 4.Conduct the analysis using a different control group (e.g., concurrent vs. historical) or different vaccine 4.Conduct a temporal scan to see if outcomes cluster during a post-vaccination time window 5.Conduct a definitive study using logistic regression analysis 6.Review charts to confirm or exclude cases as true cases
