title: [Observations on the long-term immune effect on healthy children of inoculating HB vaccine and the effect of a booster dose].
abstract: This article reported the results of inoculating HB vaccine made in China into healthy children of O-1-2-month programme, under sero-epidemiological observation for 5 years. They showed that the highest peak of immunization was reached in the sixth month and then gradually diminished with the lapse of time until the 5th year when 74.1% of the immunized still had > or = 10 mIU/ml. That meant a good protective effect. Time of keeping anti-HBs had a direct bearing on the value of the highest period. According to the statistics it was told that. It took 6 years and 8 months for anti-HBs to fall below 10 mIU/ml. In the fifth year a booster lose was given with good response. An elevation of 12.1 times the previous immunizing level was observed, showing that a booster dose after 5 years of first dose of immunization was appropriate.
