Their response to vaccinations of four doses of tetanus toxoid and one dose of measles, rubella and parotiditis vaccines was assessed. Children in the SG were tested at the age of 5-6 years to study the evolution of the response. At the age of 2-3 years, all children had optimal protection against tetanus toxoid. At 5-6 years of age, a decreased level of antitetanus antibodies were found in the SG, maintaining low protection levels. There was no evidence of any changes in the response to measles, while the number of cases with a good response to parotiditis and rubella increased.
Further results are necessary to know the effectiveness of the booster.
There was no evidence of side effects or changes in the HIV symptoms after vaccination. Always watch for outdated information. This article first appeared in 1996.
