We investigated the antibody responses and clinical adverse reactions after immunization with live combined measles and rubella vaccine (HF vaccine) in 442 healthy children, aged 12-90 months of age. We obtained 368 paired sera. Among them, 363 were initially sero-negative against measles virus and 343 (94.5%) became sero-positive after immunization. Sero-conversion against rubella virus was demonstrated in 349 (96.7%) of 361 initially sero-negatives against rubella virus. We investigated the clinical adverse reactions in 406 recipients. In 102 (25.1%) recipients, febrile reaction (> 37.5 C) developed on the day 6.7 of vaccination on average, with a mean duration of 2.2 days. Only two (0.5%) developed high body temperature over 39.5 C. Skin rash was noted in 87 (21.4%) on day 7.1 of vaccination on average, with a mean duration of 4.8 days. Lymphoadenopathy was demonstrated in 12 (3.0%). Thus, measles and rubella combined vaccine was safe and sufficiently immunogenic as well as each monovalent one, having clinical advantage in immunization practice.

To determine the association between parental characteristics and MMR (measles-mumps- rubella) vaccination status of children in the United States. We conducted a cross-sectional study from July 2023 to April 2024 using a digital health survey via OutbreaksNearMe, weighted to target national population characteristics. We analyzed the responses of 19 892 parents of children younger than 5 years to examine the association between self-reported parental characteristics (i.

Description: The aim of this American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) Clinical Practice Update (CPU) is to provide best practice advice (BPA) statements for gastroenterologists and other health care providers who provide care to patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The focus is on IBD-specific screenings (excluding colorectal cancer screening, which is discussed separately) and vaccinations. We provide guidance to ensure that patients are up to date with the disease-specific cancer screenings, vaccinations, as well as advice for mental health and general wellbeing.

Background: Lowering the age for receiving the first dose of a measles-containing vaccine (MCV1) has been suggested to close the emerging immunity gap in infants. However, tolerability remains one of the main concerns for vaccine-hesitant parents. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of reactogenicity following MCV1 in infants under 12 months of age.
