从1977年11月到1月中旬。1978年，苏联25岁以下的人口经历了一场由H1N1病毒引起的轻度流感(俄罗斯流感)的大范围流行，这种病毒类似于20世纪50年代初在世界各地传播的病毒。从1月中旬开始，俄罗斯流感在美国的学童和新兵中爆发。据报道，其他许多国家在1978年冬天爆发了H1N1病毒。对流感活动的预测总是危险的，但大多数专家认为，俄罗斯流感可能会在1978年秋冬季再次发生。其他A型和B型毒株也可能传播；因此，将提供包含A/苏联、A/德克萨斯和B/香港病毒毒株的三价疫苗。慢性病患者和65岁及以上人群应成为每年接种疫苗的目标人群。
From Nov. 1977 through mid-Jan. 1978 the population younger than 25 yr in the USSR experienced a widespread epidemic of mild influenza (Russian flu) caused by an H1N1 virus similar to the virus that circulated world wide during the early 1950s. Outbreaks of Russian flu occurred in school populations and military recruits in the USA starting in mid-Jan. Many other countries reported outbreaks of H1N1 virus in the winter of 1978. Predictions of influenza activity are always hazardous, but most experts believe that the Russian flu may occur again in the fall and winter of 1978. Other type A and B strains may also circulate; therefore, a trivalent vaccine containing A/USSR, A/Texas and B/Hong Kong virus strains will be available. The chronically ill and those 65 yr and older should be the target populations for annual vaccination.
