Intradermal administration of bivalent and monovalent influenza vaccines. 1977

J H Brooks, and L H Criep, and F L Ruben

Intradermal (ID) administration of 0.1 ml of a bivalent influenza vaccine containing 40 CCA units each of influenza A/New Jersey (Hswine 1N1) and A/Victoria (H3N2) virus antigens and of a monovalent vaccine containing 100 CCA units of influenza B/Hong Kong virus to 70 adult volunteers produced no serious reactions and only 7% bothersome side effects. Excluding persons with high (1:64 or greater) initial antibody titers, then 90% and 85% of persons had fourfold or greater rises in HAI antibodies to A/New Jersey and B/Hong Kong antigens, whereas 53% had rises to A/Victoria. The authors feel the ID route deserves further consideration for giving killed influenza vaccines to adults. However, an influenza virus type that was prevalent for many years may fail to give sufficient rise in HAI to consider the patient protected.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
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.
