  • Title: [Revaccination of schoolchildren with BCG-M vaccine and use of a new model of BI-19 jet injector].
    Author: Iukhimenko NV.
    Journal: Probl Tuberk; 1992; (1-2):18-20. PubMed ID: 1603782.
    Abstract:
    A comparative analysis of the effectiveness of revaccination of 1595 schoolchildren with the BCG and BCG-M vaccine is given in relation to the method of vaccine administration and revaccination frequency (1st revaccination was given in the 1st and 2nd in the ninth form). Both vaccines were found to be equally effective both in the development of a postvaccination skin sign and postvaccination allergy. The method of BCG vaccine administration (with a jet injector and needle syringe) had no essential influence on the revaccination effect. The advantage of a new BI-19 jet injector used for tuberculin diagnosis consisted in that there was no need to adjust the results of tuberculin diagnosis as was the case with a previous BI-IM jet injector.
