Prevention of Haemophilus influenzae Type b Colonization by Vaccination: Correlation with Serum Anti-Capsular IgG Concentration
Josefina Fernández,Orin S. Levine,Jacqueline Sánchez,Sharon Balter,Leslye LaClaire,Jesús M. Feris,Sandra Romero-Steiner +6 more
TL;DR: Among vaccinated infants, protection against colonization was significantly correlated with anti-Hib CPS concentrations >/=5 microgram/mL 1 month following the third dose of vaccine, suggesting that the concentration needed for protection against Colonization is greater than that required for protection for invasive disease.
