TLDR
No clinically significant evidence of viral or immune interference affecting efficacy of LAIV strains in multivalent vaccine formulations is found and future clinical studies should compare the safety and immune responses of children and adults to licensed trivalent and investigational quadrivalent LAIV formulations.
Abstract
Selecting the B strain for inclusion in a trivalent seasonal influenza vaccine has been difficult because two distinct influenza B lineages frequently co-circulate, prompting consideration of a quadrivalent vaccine containing two A and two B strains. Because interference among wild-type influenza viruses is a well-documented phenomenon and viral replication is required to elicit protection by the licensed live-attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV; MedImmune, LLC, Gaithersburg, MD, USA), a potential quadrivalent formulation raises considerations of interference among the LAIV strains contained in the vaccine. We reviewed the available clinical and nonclinical literature to understand the potential impact of viral interference on immunogenicity, efficacy and shedding of LAIV strains. We have found no clinically significant evidence of viral or immune interference affecting efficacy of LAIV strains in multivalent vaccine formulations. Future clinical studies should compare the safety and immune responses of children and adults to licensed trivalent and investigational quadrivalent LAIV formulations.

Correlates of protection to influenza virus, where do we go from here?

TL;DR: There is a need for detailed immunological analysis including kinetic studies and head to head comparison of vaccines by a range of immunological assays to further define correlates of protection.

Immune responses after live attenuated influenza vaccination.

TL;DR: The immune responses elicted by LAIV mimic natural infection and have been found to provide broader clinical protection in children compared to the IIVs, but despite 14 years on the global market, there exists no correlate of protection.

Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccine

TL;DR: Live attenuated live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) has been available in the USA since 2003 and has been shown to be effective in protecting the public from the 2009 H1N1 pandemic.

Glycoconjugate vaccines and immune interference: A review

TL;DR: Multivalent conjugate vaccines using TT were found to be at risk for reduced polysaccharide responses, whilst multivalent CRM197 conjugates are at lower risk for this, but may be at higher risk of inducing bystander interference, particularly affecting Hib and hepatitis B immune responses.

Principles underlying the development and use of live attenuated cold-adapted influenza A and B virus vaccines.

TL;DR: Protective immunity to influenza A viruses is mediated primarily by serum IgG and mucosal IgA antibodies directed against the HA and NA, making it necessary that these two antigens are derived from the newly emerged antigenic variant virus.
