- •A randomized clinical trial on the efficacy of influenza vaccination in the elderly, involving 31 general practitioners in 15 practices in the southern region of the Netherlands, was conducted in the winter of 1991-1992. All persons aged 60 years or older were invited to enter the trial if they did not belong to those high-risk groups in which vaccination was recommended. At that time, age was no criterion for recommendation. In total 1838 patients (869 male, 989 female) agreed to participate. Of those who enrolled, 490 patients with heart conditions, lung conditions or diabetes mellitus were not considered to belong to the high-risk group by their general practitioner. In order to perform the new study, we complement the data of the previous trial with present information on mortality of the former participants. In specific, date and causes of death are added.
