Published: February 1997

In the introduction achievements of obligatory applied vaccines are described. Data on new vaccines for wide application are presented: acellular pertussis vaccine, Haemophilus influenzae b vaccine, hepatitis B vaccine and varicella (zoster) vaccine. For each vaccine data on immunity, protection and side effects are presented. Indications (epidemiological, illness severity) justifying vaccination as a method of protection from infection with a distinctive causative agent are presented. Antigen structure is given for each vaccine. Finally the form of application and age of primovaccination and revaccination are given. The conclusion is that these vaccines give high immunity and protection like those already in wide (obligatory) usage, and have less side effects.
