title: [Epidemiological analysis of the effectiveness of vaccination against rabies in Poland, 1986-1997].
abstract: During 1986-1997, 65,889 persons have been vaccinated against rabies in Poland. The protective effect of used vaccines (HDCV and Vero) was proved in a group of 535 persons severely wounded by rabid animals, and of 689--wounded by wild suspected animals.
