Özet
The serum concentrations of IgG antibodies against tetanus toxoid in 40 infants one month and 12 months after completion of primary immunization according to the wide-spaced (2, 4, 6 month) and accelerated (2, 3, 4 month) schedules were compared in order to determine specific antibody response and persistence of antibodies. No significant difference was found between the groups both one and 12 months after primary immunization, and all the serum tetanus antitoxin concentrations were above the protective level. Immunization with DPT vaccine both with monthly intervals completed at 4 months of age and with two-month intervals completed at 6 months of age provided adequate protection against tetanus, and protective antitoxin levels persisted until the first booster a year after the third dose of DPT vaccine.
