| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS q9gR0x12. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. The purpose of the study was to determine which factors correlate directly with response to vaccination in such a group of subjects with non-protective HI antibody titers before vaccination. Two vaccines were used, a subunit virus vaccine adjuvanted with MF59 and a split virus vaccine. The analysis indicated that immunization with vaccine adjuvanted with MF59 was an independent variable for immune response against A/H3N2 (OR : 3.51 ; 95% CI : 1.81-6.79) and B (OR : 2.31 ; 95% CI : 1.37-3.89). The results suggest that antibody response to vaccine is satisfactory in elderly people previously lacking a protective antibody titer, and that the adjuvanted vaccine reveals a better immunogenicity. |
