title: [Collective immunity to diphtheria in the children and adolescents of Vladivostok during a mass immunization against this infection].
abstract: The state of collective immunity to diphtheria in children and adolescents of Vladivostok was studied. Adsorbed DPT vaccine was shown to have higher immunological effectiveness in comparison with adsorbed DT toxoid with reduced antigen content. As revealed in this study, as early as in 2 years a part of the children lost their immunity, irrespective of the preparation used for vaccination, and enlarged the reserve of initially seronegative children and adolescents, capable of maintaining the epidemic process of diphtheria.
