Abstract
The immunogenicity of a single dose of Salmonella typhi(S.typhi) Vi capsular polysaccharide(CPS) vaccine was evaluated before, and at 1, 3, 12, and 36 months after vaccination. Eighty-five adults(20-28 years of age) and sixty-four children(8-16 years of age) received a single dose of 25 micrograms Vi CPS vaccine intramuscularly, and antibody titers to Vi CPS were measured by passive hemagglutination. Of 149 vaccinees, 138(92.6%) showed seroconversion at 1 month after vaccination, and then 138 out of 141(97.9%) did at 3 months. Of 137 vaccinees, 116(84.7%) maintained a persistent rise in Vi antibody titer 12 months after vaccination, and 55 out of 100(55.0%) had a 4-fold or greater rise at 36 months. No significant adverse reactions were observed. Booster injection may be needed 3-5 years after vaccination.
