Abstract:
The study on the bivalent vaccine was carried out in 246 healthy Vietnamese volunteers’ aged from 1 to 25 years old. The results indicated that: the vaccine was well tolerated. The proportions of vaccines in both age groups exhibited anti-01 vibriocidal seroconversions, but the proportion of seroconverting was greater in children than in adults. Adult recipients of the vaccine exhibited similar to seroconversion rates of anti-01 and anti-0139 vibriocidal antibodies.
