PROBLEMS OF LIVE VACCINES IN COMBATING VIRUS DISEASES OF HUMANS

Abstract

The peculiar problems that are connected with the use of live- vaccines in combating virus illness first really became evident during the development of the oral poliomyelites vaccine. From this task new principles were used and these in turn had to be used to explain the development of older vaccines. The practical experiences with live vaccines often ran far ahead of the known scientific knowledge. Therefore many basic answers must still be forthcoming on basic-principles. This report is limited to such problems which appeared to merit special emphasis in the area of pock, polio and measle vaccines.
