SAFETY AND IMMUNOGENICITY OF COMBINED RABIES AND TYPHOID-FEVER IMMUNIZATION

The prevalence of rabies and typhoid fever in many developing countrie s poses a serious health hazard to travellers. The development of a co mbined immunization schedule would be advantageous. A study was perfor med on 104 adult volunteers using purified Vero cell rabies vaccine an d Typhim Vi, a purified capsular polysaccharide, either separately or in combination. No significant difference was observed in immunogenici ty or tolerance between the two groups. A 3-year follow-up study is pl anned.
