DURATION OF VACCINE IMMUNITY IN PERSONS INOCULATED WITH THE LIVE TULAREMIA VACCINE

Abstract

With the planned and correct performance of antitularemia inoculations it was possible to achieve a sharp and persistent reduction (down to individual cases) of tularemia incidence in the USSR. After 15 years, immunity to tularemia was revealed in 21.8% persons who had been vaccinated with the NIIEG vaccine. Immunity to tularemia among persons who were revaccinated a year after their primary vaccination is preserved longer than in persons who had only a single vaccination. Loss of immunity in persons of school age who were vaccinated took place considerably more rapidly than in adults.
