Formats Available in JSTOR: PDF

Abstract(back to top)

Surveys on influenza vaccination and illness in longterm –care facilities in Niigata Prefecture during an influenza A (H3N2) epidemic revealed that >20% of facilities had outbreaks and >10% of residents experienced influenza. Outbreaks and number of cases were significantly reduced by vaccination, which should be strongly recommended for institutionalized elderly people (Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2000;21:728‐730).
