摘要
The use of vaccinia virus in recombinant systems may result in the occurrence of complications observed following smallpox vaccination. The results are presented of a large survey carried out in the USSR between 1968 and 1979. High complication rates are reported, particularly in older primary vaccinees; for example, there were 312.5 cases of neurological complications per million in those aged greater-than-or-equal-to 5 years. The author concludes that this factor will limit the use of vaccinia virus in recombinant technology.
