To compare the effects of subcutaneous and intradermal methods of administration of TAB vaccine for primary immunization against enteric infections an investigation was carried out on 257 Army recruits.

The general and local reactions were more unfavourable by the intradermal method. The agglutinin responses were better with the intradermal route.
