Influenza Virus Vaccine, Types A and B - Calcium Phosphate Adsorbed - Refined and Concentrated
Object Details
- Description (Brief)
- World War II propelled vaccine development and influenza research. Nobody wanted a repeat of the pandemic that devastated the troops and general population in WWI. The influenza virus had finally been identified, and the problem of how to grow it (in chicken eggs) was largely solved. “Prepared in the extra-embryonic fluid of the chick embryo” is stated prominently on this package of one of the earliest influenza virus vaccines.
