What is recorded here?

Reported a placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind trial of a plasma-derived, formalin-inactivated hepatitis-B vaccine in 1,083 men at high risk for infection.

Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.

Scientific scope

The record is the exact 1980 NEJM trial, population, vaccine preparation and follow-up. Recombinant hepatitis-B vaccines, universal immunization programmes, later safety surveillance and hepatitis elimination remain separate.
