[Epidemiological observation on effect of Leptospiral outer membrane vaccine].
OBJECTIVE
To study the safety and effect of Leptospiral outer membrane vaccine.


METHODS
Eighty thousands dosages of Leptospiral outer membrane vaccine were vaccinated in Jingzhou and Shishou city Hubei prevince. Temperaure, side-effects such as Local edema with in 48 hours as well as the incidence of Leptospirsis within a year among those were vaccinated and unvaccinated were observed.
