Illness after influenza vaccination reported through a nationwide surveillance system, 1976-1977. 1980

In 1976, the Center for Disease Control coordinated nationwide surveillance for illnesses after influenza vaccination as part of an effort to vaccinate the nation against influenza A/New Jersey/76. For the 48,161,019 persons vaccinated in 1976, a total of 4733 reports of illness were received which included reports of 223 deaths. When Guillain-Barré syndrome was reported in vaccine recipients, an investigation was begun to examine this possible association. Other than the Guillain-Barré syndrome and rare cases of anaphylaxis, no serious illnesses were causally associated with influenza vaccination by this type of surveillance. Widespread underreporting of illness and death in the passive phase of this surveillance system, however, impaired the ability to draw conclusions about reactions to vaccine from the reports of illness received.

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.

D011129 Polyradiculoneuropathy Diseases characterized by injury or dysfunction involving multiple peripheral nerves and nerve roots. The process may primarily affect myelin or nerve axons. Two of the more common demyelinating forms are acute inflammatory polyradiculopathy (GUILLAIN-BARRE SYNDROME) and POLYRADICULONEUROPATHY, CHRONIC INFLAMMATORY DEMYELINATING. Polyradiculoneuritis refers to inflammation of multiple peripheral nerves and spinal nerve roots.
