Thanks for this good article; I would like to ask about the vector vaccine of ILT ; Is it good enough to give good and long life protection and how many days needed after vaccine to give fully protection.

Do you know if Ceba has a representative in the Philippines? Where we can buy the two brands of pox-vectored vaccines for ILT?
