Article Synopsis
- Brazil's MMR vaccination campaign in August 2004 reported unusually high rates of hypersensitivity-type adverse events (HAEs) among vaccinated children.
- Analysis revealed that HAEs were significantly more prevalent with a specific manufacturer’s vaccine (15.2/100,000 doses) compared to others (1.2 and 0.6/100,000 doses).
- The study concluded that while HAEs were frequent, they were not associated with a history of food or drug allergies, emphasizing the need for effective vaccine safety surveillance.
