The paper contains a review of relevant literature highlighting particular features of diphtheria epidemic in Ukraine. An assessment is given of potentialities of vaccination in diphtheria. It is shown that inadequate vaccination is not the only factor responsible for the epidemic. Some specificities are described of the immune response from the present-day standpoint together with the connection of this process with the system of histocompatibility. Manifestations of the immune response to the vaccination carried out are discussed, and in accordance with this principles and lines of inquiry are formulated according to modern idea of the subject.
