Wally Vella
PMCID: PMC2495155  PMID: 4622606

Abstract

The varicus preparations of TAB vaccines proposed in the past and/or available for use at present, together with the methods suggested for the vaccination procedures, are described.

The difficultics of interpreting the serologic diagnostic tests (Widal Test) and the possible dangers of vaccination during an epidemic (provocation typhoid) are discussed.
