Are there any currently available methods for forecasting influenza vaccine effectiveness?

Currently, there is not a widely-available method for forecasting the effectiveness of this season’s influenza vaccine. Although, during the seasonal influenza season in the United States, the Naval Health Research Center (NHRC) conducts population-based surveillance for febrile respiratory illness (FRI) at US military basic training centers. These data are used to estimate vaccine effectiveness (VE) against laboratory-confirmed influenza infection at the end of the season.
