To study the long-term immunogenicity to HAV vaccine, three doses of strain HM 175 HAV vaccine with 360 enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay units were administered to 107 children, aged from 1.0 to 6.8 years, at 0, 1 and 6 months. The administration of one vaccine dose induced seropositivity (anti-HAV titer ? 20 mIU ml-1) in 95% of all vaccinees at month 1. All subjects remained seropositive until month 6. The titers of HAV antibody remained above 20 mIU ml-1 in all subjects followed up to 60 months. The geometric mean titer (GMT) reached its peak (3802 mIU ml-1) at month 7, i.e. 1 month after the booster dose, and then declined until the end of follow-up at month 60 (661 mIU ml-1). A trend of higher GMT in female subjects persisted up to month 60. The changes of the GMT over time were best described by the regression equation: log (GMT) = 3.26 - 0.08 x (age in years) (r = -0.95, P = 0.014). According to this equation, the geometric mean concentration would reach 20 mIU ml-1 at around 24.5 years after the beginning of vaccination. In conclusion, those who completed the recommended three-dose inactivated HAV vaccination series remained seroprotective for at least 5 years. Theoretically, such a vaccination program can provide a protective period of over 20 years in children. This paper may be the first to describe at least 5 years. Theoretically, such a vaccination program can provide a protective period of over 20 years in children. This paper may be the first to describe at least 5-year immunogenicity of inactivated HAV vaccination in healthy children. |
