"Duration of Protection from Clinical Hepatitis A Disease after Vaccination with VAQTA(R)."

According to the authors' abstract of an article published in Journal of Medical Virology, "Recent papers examining the expected persistence of anti-hepatitis A virus antibody following vaccination with inactivated hepatitis A vaccine have estimated that geometric mean antibody levels will remain above cut-off levels for 10-30 years. However, the methodology used in these papers did not take into account any estimates of variability between subjects. In this paper data from the persistence of antibody after the administration of another vaccine, VAQTA(R) (hepatitis A vaccine, inactivated; MSD), were used to develop further models of antibody decay. Using individual subject estimates...
