An outbreak of influenza A (H3N2) occurred aboard a U.S. Navy ship in February
1996, despite 95% of the crew’s having been appropriately vaccinated. Virus
isolated from ill crew members was antigenically distinct from the vaccination
strain. With an attack rate of 42%, this outbreak demonstrates the potential for
rapid spread of influenza in a confined population and the impact subsequent
illness may have upon the workplace.
