    Abstract:
    Bivalent A/Victoria/75-A/New Jersey/76 and monovalent B/Hong Kong/72 influenza vaccines were given alone or together to adutls, and systemic reactions and antibody responses were determined. The rates of systemic reactivity observed varied among vaccine groups. Disrupted vaccines and whole-virus vaccines containing type B antigen only did not cause significant reactivity. Systemic reactions were observed after administration of the bivalent A whole-virus vaccines, and this reactivity was increased if the B vaccine was also administered. Reactions to the more reactive vaccines were less frequent in older subjects or in younger individuals with evidence of previous exposure to influenza antigens in the vaccine. Antibody responses in this study indicated that individuals older than 25 years responded better to A/New Jersey antigens than did younger subjects. The A/Victoria antigen produced lower antibody levels in older individuals than in younger subjects. The B/Hong Kong antibody responses were similar in all vaccine groups.
