Abstract

Antibody response to vaccination provides a useful in vivo method of testing the integrated immune system. Chronic stress can have a detrimental effect on antibody response to a variety of vaccinations in both young and elderly populations. The next challenge is to examine whether stress reduction interventions can enhance vaccination responses.
