...fever. For the elderly and infirm, however, A-2/Hong Kong/68 poses a threat to life. With this in mind, PHS experts have advised physicians to give inoculations of either old or new vaccine only to persons who run the risk of severe complications when they come down with winter's most miserable complaint...
