Research

By: M D Snape, senior clinical research fellow, Oxford Vaccine Group, Department of Paediatrics, University of Oxford et al.

In around 1000 adolescents who were immunised during a 1999-2000 national UK campaign, a fifth of current 11-13 year olds have inadequate immunity and need boosters, according to this observational study. Age at vaccination is important for protection and persistence with conjugate vaccines.
