Vaccination with a single dose of trivalent oral poliomyelitis vaccine elicited fourfold or greater antibody responses to one or more poliomyelitis virus types in 59% of volunteers (16/27) receiving vaccine prepared from virus grown in monkey kidney cells and in 69% of volunteers (16/23) receiving vaccine prepared from virus grown in MRC5 human diploid cells. Type for type the antibody titres and percentages of volunteers responding to the two vaccines were broadly equivalent. The clinical reactivities of both vaccines were similar to that of a placebo in terms of the overall incidence, duration and severity of reactions. The nature of the reactions observed did, however, vary, in that headaches were more frequently reported by recipients of vaccine prepared from virus grown in monkey kidney cells. This difference was not, however, statistically significant.
