For children, the new Army-tested influenza vaccine (TIME, Oct. 7)seems to be almost as bad as flu itself. Pediatricians have found that,for reasons still unexplained, children react to the vaccine much moreviolently than adults; as little as one-tenth of the normal adult dose(one cc) may produce high fever, chills, vomiting. LederleLaboratories, a manufacturer of the vaccine, now advises against it fortots under two. Verdict of most leading pediatricians: for adults only.
