Abstract

In 27 patients randomized to receive commercial trivalent influenza vaccine (TIV) containing 15 microg of the hemagglutinin (HA) of influenza A (H3N2 and H1N1) and B virus or a recombinant vaccine (rHAO) containing 15, 45, or 135 microg of each HA, reactogenicity was minor. Among patients with similar prevaccination titers, 40% given 45 microg and 60% given 135 microg of rHAO developed an increase in influenza A/H3 neutralizing antibody levels; there were no increases in 4 given TIV. For each vaccine, the highest frequencies of increases in neutralizing antibody levels and the highest mean titers occurred in those given the 135- microg vaccine.
