The geometric mean titers of antibody, and seroconversion rates, were significantly higher after MF59 adjuvanted vaccine, and in fact, two 7.5 (micro)g doses of MF59 adjuvanted vaccine gave the highest seroconversion rates ("Safety and antigenicity of non-adjuvanted and MF59-adjuvanted influenza A/Duck/Singapore/97 (H5N3) vaccine: a randomised trial of two potential vaccines against H5N1 ...
