摘要: Abstract 2513 733 persons aged 3-15 years were vaccinated against meningococcal meningitis in Bauchi, Nigeria (approximate population 4000 000), between 1977 and 1980. The polyvalent vaccine contained groups A C polysaccharide antigen. There no reports of any untoward reactions to the vaccine. 212, 1509, 64, 12 cases disease reported 1977, 1978, 1979, 1980, respectively.
