Influenza vaccines

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2008
Influenza viruses pose a major challenge to those concerned with global public health. Not only do influenza viruses cause yearly epidemics that are associated with slight changes in viral antigenicity, but occasionally new viruses cross from animal reservoirs into humans causing major pandemics.

Influenza: The Vaccines

Hospital Practice, 1971
The extreme antigenic lability of the influenza A viruses accounts for the less-than-ideal immune responses to them. With a possible swine flu pandemic in the offing, the "vaccine strategy" required is critical, particularly as the medical and public health communities in the United States embark on the first systematic attempt in history to blunt ...

Influenza Vaccines

International Archives of Allergy and Immunology, 1995
This is a report about influenza vaccines. Recommendations for the 1995/1996 influenza season vaccine components are cited. There are many different types of influenza vaccine, but only inactivated vaccines are licensed for parenteral administration in humans.

Vaccination; Influenza vaccines [PDF]

open access: possiblePhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. B, Biological Sciences, 1980
Inactivated influenza vaccines can now be made from purified haemagglutinin and neuraminidase. Although they have not been fully tested in the field they probably produce as good an immunity as whole virus vaccines and fewer reactions. They could be used against a new serotype in the face of a pandemic.

Influenza vaccination

Nursing Older People, 2002
I was amazed at some of the things I learned from this article - for example, that the influenza vaccine can reduce mortality by up to 75 per cent and that preventing influenza can halve the chances of a major heart attack. Pneumonia is a major complication in influenza and this can often be fatal.

Influenza vaccination in children

Nursing Research, 1961
Data on excess mortality figures obtained from the Communicable Disease Center and the Symposium on Asian Influenza 1-2 show that during the epidemic in 1957-1958 approximately 35,000,000 people in the United States had influenza, and an estimated 70,000 deaths occurred. Mortality figures obtained in 1957-1958 showed that approximately one-third of all

Obstetrics & Gynecology, 1999
The objective of this paper is to determine the acceptance rate of and incidence of adverse reactions to the influenza vaccine in pregnant women, and to determine the immunized patients' attitudes toward future vaccination. A total of 448 eligible pregnant women were offered the influenza vaccine at routine prenatal visits.

Influenza Vaccine

Pediatrics, 1968
I would like to take exception to recommendations of the Committee on Control of Infectious Diseases in regard to influenza vaccine usage, published in the Academy's Newsletter, October 15, 1967. Basically, the Committee recommended limiting usage to chronically ill children.

Influenza Vaccines

1992
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses immunology of influenza virus infections, limitations of current vaccines, and approaches for developing highly effective influenza virus vaccines. Influenza viruses are negative-strand RNA viruses that are surrounded by an envelope, spiked by surface glycoproteins with hemagglutinin (HA) or neuraminidase (NA ...
