Measles Vaccination in Presence of Measles Antibody May Enhance Child Survival
Background: In trials of early two-dose measles vaccination (MV), with the first dose being given before 9 months of age, vaccination in the presence of maternal antibody reduced mortality 2- to 3-fold compared with MV in the presence of no measles ...
