An epidemic of Asian influenza which occurred in Iceland in October and November 1957 is briefly described. About 8000 persons were vaccinated with two injections of a vaccine containing 100 CCA units of Asian virus per dose. The inactivated virus was adsorbed on aluminium phosphate. Data are given on the antibody production after vaccination.The results of a survey indicate that vaccination with this type of vaccine, when performed early enough, reduced the incidence of influenza by some 67%. Moreover, the cases which did occur in vaccinated persons seemed to be of less than average severity.
