Question:

Suppose 3 children in a village ages 3, 5, and 7 are vaccinated with the QIV vaccine. What is the probability that at least one child among the 3 will get influenza? 


Infectious Disease
Commonly used vaccines for influenza are trivalent and contain only one type of influenza B virus. They may be ineffective against other types of influenza B virus. A randomized clinical trial was performed among children 3 to 8 years of age in 8 countries. Children received either a quadrivalent vaccine (QIV) that had more than one influenza B virus or a trivalent Hepatitis A vaccine (control) (Jain, et al., [9]. New England Journal of Medicine 2013: 369(26): 2481–2491). An attack rate (i.e.,% of children who developed influenza) starting 14 days after vaccination until the end of the study was computed for each vaccine group, stratified by age. The following data were reported:
