Popis: An evaluation of two doses of split-product A/New Jersey/76 virus vaccines was conducted at a boys' summer camp. Two doses of either 200 chick cell-agglutinating (CCA) or 400 CCA units of vaccine were administered four weeks apart. There were no significant side effects. Of 60 subjects, 59 developed a significant titer of serum antibody after two doses. There was no correlation between titer of antibody and total dose of vaccine. Younger subjects developed a higher titer than older subjects. A single dose of vaccine was insufficient to achieve a protective level of antibody.
