  • Title: [Smallpox vaccination in a country district (author's transl].
    Author: Martischnig E.
    Journal: Padiatr Padol; 1976; 11(1):94-9. PubMed ID: 1250639.
    Abstract:
    This survey deals with the matter of smallpox vaccination (serum, complications, age, degree of immunity, compulsory vaccination) also with the percentage of first vaccinations, booster vaccinations of children with birth years from 1962 to 1974, as well as the vaccination coverage of 2000 adults within a district. The survey showed a high degree of first vaccination coverage and a satisfactory percentage of booster vaccinations. Of the 2000 adults interviewed 19% had never been vaccinated, 54% ten or more years ago, 17% between the last 3 to 10 years, and only 10% had been vaccinated within the past three years. As a minimum safety measure it is requested that persons who could be exposed to smallpox (public servants, medical officers, flight personnel) be satisfactorily immunized against the disease.
