Updated H1N1 posts/symptoms/vaccine
“One low dose of vaccine showing ‘unbelievably impressive’ results.”
Why the surprise the vaccine works so well when the virus was man-made?
Australia Clinical Trial of H1N1 vaccine
- 240 people ages 18 – 64.
- Half 15 micrograms - half 30 micrograms.
- 15 mcgs – mild to moderate side effects comparable to seasonal flu vaccine
- 21 days: Most had an immune response of at least 1:40 titers
1:40 titers on of the FDA requirements to approve the vaccine
NIH clinical trial much the same results
Strong immune response 8-10 days after 15 micrograms
So: one shot of 15 micrograms
…then there’s the season flu vaccine that the H1N1 vaccine doesn’t protect against.
