IMMUNIZATION IN THE ARMED FORCES AND ITS IMPORTANCE FOR THE PROPHYLAXIS AND LIQUIDATION OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES

Abstract

Immunization of humans occupies an important place in the system of reducing and eradicating infectious diseases. The role of inoculations against separate groups and various forms of infections is not the same. Particularly promising are inoculations against aerial-droplet infections, vector (especially zoonotic) infections, and diseases against which it is possible to use toxoids for immunization. Special attention is merited by the feasibility of carrying out combined immunization, since this makes it possible to reduce the number of injections which would have to be given in the case of separate inoculations. Though such inoculations may be carried out with any preparations, chemical vaccines are most suitable for this. As a rule inoculations are accompanied by a vaccinal process which is primarily different from the infectious process. The positive role of innoculations considerably surpasses the shortcomings of reactions in inoculated persons.
