[Possibility of shortening an aerosol immunization session with dry live plague vaccine]

A comparative study of the 10- and 30-minute seances of the animal vaccination with the dry living plague aerozol EB vaccine demonstrated that the biological and the weight aspiration doses for a 10-minute vaccination seance constituted 96 and 89% of the dose, respectively, during a 30-minute exposure. According to the results of the passive hemagglutination test immunological shifts developing in guinea pigs after the 10- and 30-minute exposure proved to be equal. On this basis it is recommended to decrease the seance of the animal vaccination from 30 to 10 minutes.
