title: [Qualifying individuals for vaccine against rabies and administration of the vaccine in Poland from 1980-1990].
abstract: In Poland are implemented five basic elements necessary for the efficient human rabies control. They are: epidemiological surveillance of rabies; safe and immunogenic vaccine and serum; effective medical care; network of veterinary diagnostic laboratories; rabies legislation. Presented analysis is based on the 35,226 records of antirabies vaccinees in Poland during the period 1980-1990. It evaluates some failures in human antirabies control. The efforts to achieve the improvement in the standard of the performance should focus on the following: the most effective methods of increasing the level of public knowledge about rabies; medical postgraduated training in rabies; rapid methods for virus isolation; virological evidence (virus isolation) of infection in suspected atypical rabies hosts like squirrels, rodents, bats etc; pre-exposure vaccination for persons at risk of exposure.
