Abstract
The report of the Committee on the Control of Infectious Disease of the American Academy of Pediatrics in the 1961 edition states on the subject of Schick tests: "If immunization practices, including periodic recall injections, are carried out as outlined in this report, the routine use of the Schick test to determine individual susceptibility to diphtheria is unnecessary." I have been doing Shick test prior to vaccination for smallpox for several years as a means to determine the patient's gamma-globulin level by this indirect means.
