Adverse reactions to measles immunisation

We evaluated immediate adverse reactions after measles vaccination during a campaign against measles in the area of Parma, Italy, between November 1990 and June 1992. Children were immunised with a vaccine grown in human fibroblast culture (Moraten, Berna), which is recommended for children with allergy to eggs. After being immunised the children were observed for at least 30 minutes at the vaccine clinic. The doctors referred children with possible hypersensitivity reactions to the vaccine to the department of paediatrics.

Measles vaccine was given to 3300 children aged 13 months to 10 years. Three children were admitted to the department of paediatrics because of severe reactions a few minutes after . . . [Full text of this article]
