Smallpox vaccination by intradermal jet injection. 3. Evaluation in a well-vaccinated population.

Smallpox vaccinations were performed in a well-vaccinated prison population by multiple-pressure technique and by intradermal jet injection using serial dilutions of vaccine. A total of 140 subjects were divided into groups, and each group was vaccinated by the multiple-pressure technique or by jet injection using 1 of 3 vaccine dilutions with the following calculated titres: ID-Jet 1 = 10(7.0) TCID(50)/ml, ID-Jet 1a = 10(6.3) TCID(50)/ml, ID-Jet 2 = 10(6.0) TCID(50)/ml. Clinical observations were made at intervals during the first week after vaccination. Prevaccination and post-vaccination serum samples were obtained immediately before and 30 days after the vaccination. Results based on clinical and serological evaluations indicated that smallpox vaccination by jet injection with the ID-Jet 1 vaccine was at least as efficacious as vaccination by the standard multiple-pressure technique.

The Chesapeake Health Plan: an HMO model for foster children.

The model of health care delivery described here is a successful, workable approach to meeting the health care needs of foster children. Given sufficient flexibility in the regulatory process, it may be adapted to a variety of definable, high-risk populations. The actual delivery of care depends in part upon the administrative and physical resources available, but it is equally dependent upon the philosophy of care of the program and its staff and upon cooperative efforts between health care and social service agencies.
