Measles vaccination by the intradermal route.

Introduction Live further-attenuated measles vaccines were made generally available in the United Kingdom early in 1966 following the Measles Vaccine Committee's Report to the Medical Research Council (1966). Two years later the Ministry of Health (1968, Circular CM 05/68) through its Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunization recommended that measles vaccination should be offered to all c...

Influence of moderate malnutrition on morbidity and antibody response following vaccination with live, attenuated measles virus vaccine.

The influence of malnutrition upon susceptibility to infection has been well-documented in man (I, 2). Hence increased morbidity and mortality observed in malnourished populations can be explained, at least in part, by the detrimental effects of malnutrition on various aspects of the humoral (3, 4), cell-mediated (5, 6), and secretory (7, 8) immune responses. These effects have been most clearl...
