Hepatitis B vaccine: immune response in student nurses. A fifteen-month follow-up

|January 1, 1986
Abstract:
The authors describe a 15-month follow-up of twenty-nine nurse students vaccinated against hepatitis B with Hevac B Pasteur. At three months all subjects were anti-HBs positive, with a geometric mean titre (GMT) of 1187 mIU/ml. At the time of booster dose (T14) GMT had fallen to 380 mIU/ml; after one month (T15) GMT had risen again to 9332 mIU/ml. Such a high antibody level suggests a long lasting protection.
