[What is next in antirabies immunization?].
The authors compare the geometrical means of titres of specific antirabic antibodies in a group of subjects immunized by the intradermal route with vaccine from a tissue culture of human diploid cell (Rabivac Behring, FRG) and in groups of subjects immunized by the subcutaneous route with the vaccine Vnukovo SAD-32 (USSR), using a short and long immunization pattern resp. The group with intradermal administration had higher geometrical mean values of antibody titres than the age-matched group immunized by the subcutaneous vaccine Vnukovo. The low mean titres and incidence of zero values of antirabic antibodies in age groups above 50 years is alarming.
