Influenza vaccination is less efficacious in the elder-ly than in the young. To characterize this age-related decrease in immune response to influenza vaccination, antibody and cell-mediated responses to influenza vaccine were assessed before immunization and 4 weeks after vaccination of a population of 270 healthy elderly individuals (mean age: 80.2 years) living in eight local continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs) and 30 young individuals (mean age: 27.8 years). The antibody titres produced against all three influenza strains increased significantly after vaccination in both the young and elderly (p
