Participants | 74 healthy volunteers aged 18 to 40 years (data on 17 asthmatics were not extracted) | |
Interventions | Cold ‐ recombinant vaccine A (H1N1) (n = 16) versus cold ‐ recombinant vaccine A (H3N2) (n = 13) versus cold ‐ recombinant vaccine B (n = 17) versus placebo (n = 26) Intranasal | |
