title: [Vaccinations in services of rubbish collection].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Till 1963 vaccinations against biological agents are mandatory for street cleaners and workers employed in the service of rubbish collection in Italy.
  
  
  METHODS
  The principal ways to choose the specific and useful vaccine against the potential biological risk are: 1) To make a careful risk assessment--having the knowledge of fixtures and fittings and 2) To analize the injuries story along the time.
  
  
  RESULTS
  No cases of seroconversion showed (1999-2008) in ten years of control in a big public company located in North of Italy where the choice of vaccine for every kind of task is made in reason of the really risk.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We have to play attention on a new kind of problems that's growing in West Countries managing active immunisation: a) workers coming from every side of the world with or without vaccinal protection and b) workers old, ill, with natural or illness caused immunodeficiency.
