Active immunization against tetanus III. Results of a five year study.
This is the first time in Burma that tetanus toxoids (purified and adsorbed) have been tested in over 250 non-immune adult volunteers and studied for a period of nearly five years. The safety and efficacy of these toxoids have been assessed by immunological, statistical and clinical methods. Both toxoids were found to be safe. The adsorbed toxoid was far superior to the fluid toxoid as an immunizing agent and optimum immunization regimens are proposed and presented.
