Eighty-eight asthmatic children aged six to 16 years received monovalent influenza A/New Jersey/76 virus vaccines. Forty-one of these children were given skin tests for allergy to eggs and vaccines, and 57 were given pulmonary function tests before and after immunization. Only four children reacted to the vaccines in the skin tests, with three of these children reacting to only one of four test preparations. Only two of the four children showed a correlation between reactivity to vaccine and allergy to egg antigens. No significant changes in pulmonary function were demonstrated.
