This paper examines spatial aspects of the inoculation program of 1976 within the context of the diffusion of other kinds of influenza immediately before and after the program. Events that contributed to federal involvement in a major effort to combat the possible spread of a serious infectious disease through the United States included elevated numbers of influenza deaths due to a prevailing viral strain during the winter of 1976, an outbreak of swine flu at Fort Dix, New Jersey, at about the same time, and the Legionnaires' Disease outbreak of July, 1976, in Phildelphia. Rare but serious side effects led to an early halt to the inoculation program during the winter of 1976-1977, but the resultant geographical patterns of vaccine acceptance provide useful information should the need arise for another similar effort
