Smallpox Vaccine: “Non-Take” Responses in Previously Vaccinated Adults
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2015
Abstract
This small, retrospective study of laboratory workers who received smallpox vaccine showed a strong correlation between “non-take” reactions and the presence of prior vaccination scars. Although we cannot exclude technique and vaccine potency as causes, the association we observed may indicate that these workers are displaying residual immunity to smallpox.
