Evaluation of live attenuated S79 mumps vaccine effectiveness in mumps outbreaks: a matched case-control study.

Matched case-control study of effectiveness of live, attenuated S79 mumps virus vaccine against clinical mumps.

Mumps virus infection is a potentially serious viral infection of childhood and early adulthood. In China, live, attenuated S(79) mumps virus vaccine has been licensed for pediatric use since 1990. There has been no assessment of its efficacy. Thus, the objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of live, attenuated S(79) mumps virus vaccine against clinical mumps. Cases were sel...
