INFLUENZAL VACCINATION IN INFANTS AND CHILDREN

M. G. PETERMAN M.D.1 and V. KORES M.D.1

1 The Milwaukee County Hospital Department of Pediatrics and the Home for Dependent Children, Milwaukee, Wis.

Forty-nine children from 4 months to 13 years of age were immunized by a single intracutaneous injection of influenzal vaccine. An immune response, as indicated by the increase in serum antibody titer, was produced in 99% of the children. The response in the group below 2 years of age was greater than previously reported responses to the subcutaneous injection of influenzal vaccine.
