Such people must also avoid close contact with others who have been recently vaccinated, because for two to three weeks the vaccination site can shed the live virus, vaccinia, used in the vaccine.
Age, sex, body mass index, self-reported stress, and vaccination site were not consistently associated with vaccine response or maintenance of response.
"[Families] know the importance of getting vaccinated," said René, a coordinator working at the vaccination site.
Most of the participants responded there were accessible vaccination site to their residing area and knew vaccine schedule of the site 91.6%, 82.9% respectively.
The whole cell vaccine had side effects, some mild (irritation at the vaccination site, for example) and some severe (seizures in about 1 in 2,000 cases).
When mothers perceived vaccination site was not accessible and they did not knew vaccine schedule of their site, they might not take their children for vaccination.
Those in the vaccine group were also 31.7% more likely to experience a vaccination site reaction than those in the placebo group.
The risk from contact occurs because the vaccine contains a live virus, which is shed for several weeks from the vaccination site and can infect others.
It is important in the design of particle-based vaccines to consider possible harmful effects of immune response on tissue at the vaccination site.
Immediately following the Fluvirin injection, study participants received VAX102 1-µg dose (0.5 ml) vaccine or the identically appearing placebo by intramuscular injection at approximately the same vaccination site as the Fluvirin.
Most of participants responded that their vaccination site had never cancel schedule and their children never returned without getting vaccine 97.2% and 87.2% correspondingly Table 2.
