    Abstract:
    Serological examination of 1057 children, residents of Leningrad, vaccinated with poliomyelitis vaccine at the appropriate calendar dates according to the scheme, showed the presence of antibodies to the polioviruses in 81.5-99.1% of the cases. There were more serologically negative children against the virus type III, and much less--against the virus type II. The value of the mean geometrical titres somewhat decreased with the advance of the children's age and the time lapse after the vaccination and revaccination. The greatest antibody titres determined were against the poliovirus type II, and the least--against type III. No antibodies against the viruses of types I and III were revealed in case of deficiency against the poliovirus type II. The number of children with the absence of antibodies against the poliovirus of all the types was insignificant.
