Authors' recommendations: The results suggest the vaccine against H5N1 avian influenza based on fractionated inactivated virus formulated with a low amount of antigen (3.8μg) together with a oil in water emulsion (ASO3) as adjuvant, would represent the best option in the case of a pandemic.Nevertheless, the lack of standardization of the serological tests, as well as the limitations of the criteria used to evaluate the immunogenicity data, make the comparison of the results of the different tests difficult, making it necessary to interpret them with caution.The safety and tolerability profile of the studied vaccines can be considered clinically acceptable given the high risk of serious illness and death associated with H5N1 avian influenza.
