Abstract
Solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients have an increased risk of influenza infection. Annual vaccination is the primary strategy to reduce the burden of influenza disease, but vaccine effectiveness (VE) varies annually for influenza. There is limited data published demonstrating influenza VE in pediatric SOT over time.
