  • Title: Measles, mumps, and rubella antibodies in children 5-6 years after immunization: effect of vaccine type and age at vaccination.

    Journal: Vaccine; 1995 Nov; 13(16):1611-6. PubMed ID: 8578850.
    Abstract:
    The levels of antibody against measles, mumps, and rubella were determined at 5-6 years postimmunization in 468 children vaccinated with two different trivalent vaccines. The proportions of children without detectable antibody levels were 12 and 3.6% for measles (p < 0.001), 14.9 and 7% for mumps (p = 0.006), and 3.3 and 3.1% for rubella (p = 0.88), respectively, in MMR II and Trivirix recipients. A higher proportion of those vaccinated at younger ages had undetectable or low levels of measles antibody. These data indicate that a large proportion of children vaccinated under routine conditions do not have detectable measles and mumps antibody.
