Ninety‐five adults enrolled in the Etiology of Pneumonia in the Community study with negative admission influenza polymerase chain reaction ( PCR ) tests received influenza vaccination during hospitalization. Acute and convalescent influenza serology was performed. After vaccination, seropositive (≥1:40) hemagglutination antibody titers ( HAI ) were achieved in 55% to influenza A(H1N1)pdm09, 58% to influenza A(H3N2), 77% to influenza B (Victoria), and 74% to influenza B (Yamagata) viruses. Sixty‐six (69%) patients seroconverted (≥4‐fold HAI rise) to ≥1 strain. Failure to seroconvert was associated with diabetes, bacterial detection, baseline seropositive titers for influenza B (Yamagata), and influenza vaccination in the previous season.
