Tradenamed EQUI-FLUE II, the new vaccine is available nationally through veterinarians. The vaccine is the first such com bination of equine and human viruses to be marketed in the United States. A similar vaccine, developed and mar keted in Canada in 1965, has provided good protection at race tracks and among other segments of the horse population there. Extensive field trials were conduct ed in the United States and Canada in the development of the vaccine. Blood studies showed good antibody response to both the equine and human virus strains. Foals free of colostral antibodies were shown to be responsive to vaccination. The incidence of local and systemic reactions to the vaccine was extremely low in the several hundred animals tested. The new vaccine requ ires two in jections of 2 cc. the first year. There after, immunity is maintained with a yearly booster injection. A two. to four-week interval between injections in the first-year series provides the ad vantage of administering the vaccine on the same schedule as either equine encephalomyelitis vaccine (sleeping sickness) or tetanus toxoid (lockjaw)- The product includes equine A1 an A-2 virus strains, and four selecte strains of human influenza type virus.
