Hong Kong - influensan (1969)

The Hong Kong flu spread across Northern Europe and Finland from 1968 to 1969. Editors Erik Meitz and Geo Stenius discuss with doctors, researchers, field doctors and nurses. Doctor Nils Oker-Blom shows with maps and microscope images how the virus spreads and works in the body. Field doctor Harald Blomqvist describes the situation within the army, at Dragsvik's brigade. The editors also visits a vaccine factory where the influenza virus is injected into chicken eggs in a basement. Per Forssell at Aurora Hospital is not entirely convinced of this vaccine production in Finland.
