From: The epidemiological impact of childhood influenza vaccination using live-attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) in Germany: predictions of a simulation study

Figure 5

Results of one-way sensitivity analyses. Each of the horizontal bars of this tornado chart shows the impact of varying a single parameter of the model across a given range on the number of symptomatic influenza cases prevented while keeping all other parameters at their base values. The dark grey bars represent the upper bound of the range, the light grey bars represent the lower bound. The prevented cases are the difference of symptomatic influenza cases between scenario 1 and scenario 2 during the 10-year evaluation period. TIV is used constantly in scenario 1, whereas TIV immunisation in children 2 to 17 years of age is replaced by LAIV immunisation in scenario 2, with coverage increasing up to 50% in three annual steps.
