[h=3]Abstract[/h] Egg-based influenza vaccines could be less effective than cell-based vaccine due to adaptive mutations acquired for growth. We conducted a test-negative case-control study at Kaiser Permanente Southern California to assess vaccine effectiveness (VE) against hospitalization for laboratory-confirmed influenza during 2017-2018. Among the 1186 cases and 6946 controls, 74% and 59%, respectively, were ages ≥ 65 years. For any influenza, the adjusted relative VE of cell-based vaccine versus egg-based vaccines was 43% (95% CI: -45% to 77%) for patients ages < 65 years and 6% (95% CI: -46% to 39%) for patients ages ≥ 65 years. For influenza A(H3N2), the adjusted relative VE was 61% (95% CI: -63% to 91%) for patients ages < 65 years and -4% (95% CI: -70% to 37%) for patients ages ≥ 65 years. Statistically significant protection against influenza hospitalization of cell-based vaccine compared to egg-based vaccines was not observed, but further studies in additional influenza seasons are warranted.
