    Author: Kurland EM, Kurland LT, Mulder DW, Kirkpatrick J, Helmkamp JC.
    Journal: Neuroepidemiology; 1985; 4(3):125-37. PubMed ID: 3831787.
    Abstract:
    There is no indication of an increase in the number of cases of polymyositis/dermatomyositis observed and reported among the 43.3 million civilians who received the A/NJ/76 (swine flu) vaccine from October 1 to December 16, 1976, in the United States. Among nearly 1 million Army and Navy personnel who received the vaccine, there was no increase in the incidence rate of polymyositis/dermatomyositis. Furthermore, there was no indication of an increase in the number of cases of polymyositis/dermatomyositis diagnosed at the Mayo Clinic, the Cleveland Clinic, the Cleveland Metropolitan Hospital or the Massachusetts General Hospital during or following the national immunization program in 1976.
