Abstract

14 pregnant women ages 18 to 38 years at 22-36 weeks of gestation in good general health and without recent or concurrent febrile illness, gave written informed consent to receive immunization with influenza A/Brisbane/59/2007 (HlNl), A/Brisbane /10/2007 (HlN2), B/Florida/4/2006 vaccine Agrippal S1. There were no significant side effects after immunization in any of the women. Antibody titers were determined to A/Brisbane/59/2007 (HlNl), A/Brisbane /10/2007 (HlN2), B/Florida/4/2006 before and after a single dose of influenza vaccine. Protective titers to all three strains of vaccine were detected in 13 pregnant women.
