We compared influenza vaccine-prevented hospitalizations in adults aged ≥65 years for a range of hypothetical effectiveness estimates. During 2012-2013, a vaccine with 10% effectiveness (66% coverage) would have averted approximately 13 000 hospitalizations, and a vaccine with 40% effectiveness would have averted approximately 60 000 hospitalizations. Annual vaccination is merited in this vulnerable population.
