Abstract
74 German legitimate children who have died 1972/73 by a malignant neoplasm did not differ significantly from healthy controls by their vaccination history. This holds true for vaccination against tetanus, poliomyelitis, smallpox, and tuberculosis. By BCG-vaccination neither a promoting nor a protecting effect could be discovered. Controls were more often vaccinated against diphtheria than cases.
