Abstract

This paper reviews studies which have been carried out during the past twenty years in the United States of America to investigate the suitability of various vaccines and vaccination methods for immunizing man against the different influenza virus strains. A number of investigations in closed communities, such as children's institutions, army and navy units, and medical schools, are described. The author discusses the comparative value of the techniques employed in preparing vaccines, and the use of adjuvants in improving the response.
