Participant Flow

105 patients were enrolled but only 100 had evaluable data. 4 patients received a vaccination both in years 1 and 2 of the study- only year 1 results were included in the analysis. 1 additional patient was excluded from the efficacy analysis when it was revealed he had received a second vaccination in the same season.
