Monovalent inactivated A/New Jersey/8/76 (Hsw1N1) vaccine in healthy children aged three to five years. 1977

M M Levine, and T P Hughes, and P Simon, and S O'Donnell, and S Grauel, and S G Levine

Single doses (50, 100, or 200 chick cell-agglutinating [CCA] units) of split-product or whole-virus (50 or 100 CCA units), monovalent inactivated A/New Jersey/8/76 (Hsw1n1) virus vaccine or placebo were given to healthy children aged three to five years in Maryland. Split-product vaccine was nonreactogenic but also virtually nonimmunogenic. Lower doses of whole-virus vaccine (50 CCA units of Merck, Sharp and Dohme [West Point, Pa.] and 50 or 100 CCA units of Merrell-National Laboratories [Cincinnati, Ohio] vaccine) were mildly reactogenic (approximately 25% of the children had low-grade fevers of 100 F-101 F). These dosage levels of whole-virus vaccine stimulated titers of greater than or equal to 1:20 in 68% and titers of greater than or equal to 1:40 in 37% of the children. Two inoculations of whole-virus vaccine (primary immunization followed by a booster one month later) were tolerated and induced titers of greater than or equal to 1:80 in 100% of the children.

D007252 Influenza Vaccines Vaccines used to prevent infection by viruses in the family ORTHOMYXOVIRIDAE. It includes both killed and attenuated vaccines. The composition of the vaccines is changed each year in response to antigenic shifts and changes in prevalence of influenza virus strains. The flu vaccines may be mono- or multi-valent, which contains one or more ALPHAINFLUENZAVIRUS and BETAINFLUENZAVIRUS strains.

D009980 Influenza A virus The type species of the genus ALPHAINFLUENZAVIRUS that causes influenza and other diseases in humans and animals. Antigenic variation occurs frequently between strains, allowing classification into subtypes and variants. Transmission is usually by aerosol (human and most non-aquatic hosts) or waterborne (ducks). Infected birds shed the virus in their saliva, nasal secretions, and feces.
