TEST ON MASS VACCINATION AGAINST Q-FEVER. REPORT I. REACTIVITY AND IMMUNOGENICITY OF THE Q-VACCINE

Abstract

Serological studies of the population of one of the regions of Kirgiz indicated that 23.5% of the inhabitants had been ill with Q Fever. In the test on the mass vaccination of 1128 people it was established that the Q vaccine has a weak reaction. Severe temperature reactions (higher than 38.5) were noted in 0.3%, hyperemia at the place of injection of the vaccine was bigger than 6 cm in 0.3%. A study of the serum of those vaccinated, 5 months after innoculation, indicated the good immunological effectiveness of the Q vaccine: positive complement fixing reactions were noted in 73%, average titer- 1:70.
