| Abstract |
924 Australian abattoir workers, not immune to Q fever, were inoculated against the disease with purified, formalin-inactivated, phase-1 vaccine derived from Coxiella burneti (the Q fever organism). About 60% of the subjects seroconverted after the vaccination. None of them developed Q fever in the following 18 months, during which there were 34 cases among 1,349 unvaccinated workers. Reactions to the inoculation were transient and local in most cases; mild general reactions occurred in a few workers. Inoculation of suceptible workers is recommended as a preventive measure. |
