title: [Hepatitis B vaccination with the plasma-derived Hevac-B Pasteur vaccine. A comparison of 2 populations: hospital personnel and hemodialysis patients].
abstract: A vaccination experiment using plasma-derived Hevac-B anti-hepatitis vaccine was conducted on two groups at high risk of HBV infection: hospital staff and hemodialyzed subjects. The qualities of the vaccine and the most important directions on how to use it rare briefly presented with a report on the protocol and the results of the vaccine cycle in both groups. It is concluded that the Hevac-B vaccine is efficacious in healthy subjects at risk, but gives an unsatisfactory result in immune deficient subjects, like those under haemodialysis.
