In Japan it has been generally believed that vaccination is not available for diabetic patients.
However, rehabilitation of diabetics is a goal of treatment of diabetes, therefore diabetics should be vaccinated to prevent infectious diseases.
In this study 121 diabetics were subjected for vaccination of Japanese encephalitis or influenza.
Only slight side effects caused by vaccination were shown in these diabetics, and there was no significant difference between nondiabetics and diabetics conceerning side effects of vaccination.
It was also proved in this study that the antibody titer in diabetics became as high as in non-diabetics after vaccination.
As a conclusion it should be pointed out that diabetic patients are able to receive vaccination without any dangerous side effects and that the proper effect of vactination is enough satisfactory in diabetics.
