Bold letters indicate values above reference. d, day; Vacc1, first vaccination; Vacc 2, second vaccination. Indicates the absence of a steady state since the clozapine dosage has been changed in the previous 5 days. Indicates data from 4 days post Vacc2 (d39) since no routine was obtained from d38.
