Six hundred and fifty New Zealand children from 2-12 years of age were vaccinated three times with 2 mcg intramuscular (IM) doses of Merck Sharp and Dohme plasma-derived hepatitis B vaccine (H-B-Vax), at 0, 1, and 6 months, and tested 2-3 months later for antibody to hepatitis B surface antigen (ant

The immunogenic effect of hepatitis B vaccine was evaluated in 183 seronegative infants from Senegal. Seventy-two seronegative infants received two 5-micrograms doses of vaccine at a two-month interval and 111 seronegative infants received three 5-micrograms doses at one-month intervals. All the chi
Horizontal transmission of hepatitis B virus (HBV) from illicit drug users to their contacts, including young children, can be prevented by active immunization against HBV. Yeast-recombinant hepatitis B vaccines are now available for this purpose, but their potential efficacy in such high-risk conta
A total of 318 children were prospectively randomized in group 1 with two 5-g doses of recombinant vaccine given at 0 and 1 month; in group 2 with three 5-g doses of recombinant vaccine given at 0, 1, and 6 months; or in group 3 with three doses of plasma-derived vaccine given at 0, 1, and 6 months.
## Abstract A study involving more than 2,000 infants was conducted in Vietnam to assess the field effectiveness and immunogenicity of recombinant hepatitis B vaccine given at birth, 1 month, 2 months, without concomitant hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG).

A live cold-recombinant influenza B virus vaccine (RB77) was given intranasally in a placebo-controlled, double blind study to volunteers in dosages of 10(7.9) EID50/ml, 10(7.25) EID50/ml, 10(5.7) EID50/ml. The tolerability, safety, and immunogenicity of the vaccine were investigated. No revertant v
