Theseresults were reflected in a 10-fold higher sickness rate in men of these age groups.A suprisinglylow percentage of positive IgG titres in the group of 10-14 years old subjects (82.3% in boys,89.8% in girls) were observed. The groups of vaccinated two - to nine years old children reachedpositive titres in almost 95%.
