[Role of the school in vaccination and prevention of infection].
628 pupils from both the northern and southern parts of West Germany (Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Lower Saxony, Schleswig-Holstein) were interviewed via an "infectious diseases" questionnaire: 44 questions dealt with vaccination (vaccination history, opinions of efficiency of different vaccines), 38 with problems concerning AIDS/HIV. The results indicated significant lack in the acceptance of most of the common immunisations. Improvement of AIDS/HIV-information, especially on HIV-transmission and psychosocial, economical and political consequences seems to be necessary. Possibilities of future health education for pupils are discussed.
