Abstract
⺠Effectiveness of an influenza A (H1N1) 2009 monovalent vaccine was estimated. ⺠We prospectively observed 135 Japanese pregnant women. ⺠Vaccine effectiveness was calculated using an index of “antibody efficacy”. ⺠Antibody efficacy was 91% among subjects in the first or second trimester at recruitment. ⺠The corresponding vaccine effectiveness was estimated to be 79%.
