Objective: To investigate the immunogenicity and safety of a boost dose of measles, mumps, and rubella combined vaccine (MMR) for children 4 to 6 years old. Methods: Children, aged 4 to 6 years old, had vaccinated with 1 dose of measles and rubella combined vaccine(MR) at the age of 8 months and 1 dose of MMR vaccine at 18-months, were recruited in Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, and Beijing, respectively. All children were assigned into 4, 5 and 6-year-old group. The children who met inclusion and exclusion criteria were vaccinated with 1 dose MMR vaccine, and were collected blood samples before vaccination and 35 to 42 d after the vaccination. During the study period, adverse events were collected at 30 min, 1 d, 2 d, 3 d, 4-12 d, and 13 to 42 days after vaccination. Serum was tested for IgG antibodies against measles, mumps and rubella. Geometric mean concentrations (GMC) of measles, mumps, and rubella antibodies were compared among groups by analysis of variance or non-parametric test. Seropositive rates and adverse event rates were compared among groups by Chi-square test or Fisher exact test. Results: A total of 500 children were included in immunogenicity analysis and 535 children were included in safety analysis. The overall adverse event rate was 20.37%, the most of severity for adverse events was mild. The rates of local and systemic adverse events were 0.37% and 20.00%, respectively. Symptoms of local adverse events were redness. The main systemic adverse events were fever, followed by cough, rash and runny nose. Received a dose of MMR vaccine for booster immunization, the seropositive rates of measles antibody, mumps antibody and rubella antibody were above 99% for all 3 age groups, and there was no significant difference between groups. There were significant differences in mumps antibody GMC among groups ( P =0.042), but no significant differences in measles and rubella antibodies GMC. Conclusion: The immunogenicity and safety of a boosted MMR vaccintion in children aged 4, 5 and 6 years were all similar good.

Objective: To summarize the adverse events of Measles, mumps, rubella combined attenuated live vaccine (MMR) during 2008 in Changning District of Shanghai. To research the effective monitoring pattern of adverse event following immunization (AEFI), and to provide evidence for establishing the safe monitoring system., Methods: Using MMR as the surveillance vaccine, the AEFI monitoring research with the active and passive methods was implemented., Results: 95 reports were collected. Most of the adverse events were common. The imformation from the active method was more than the imformation from the passive method. It was established the communication mechanism of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) between the different levels., Conclusion: Active and passive methods will improve the susceptibility and the utilization rate of data reporting.

Objective: To study the safety and immunogenicity of the measles-mumps-rubella combined vaccine (MMR) produced by Beijing Biological Product Institute., Methods: Children aged 10-12 years, 2-2.5 years and 8-12 months were selected to be vaccinated with Beijing MMR vaccine (test vaccine). Other groups of children with similar nature were vaccinated with measles vaccine, mumps vaccine and rubella vaccine while using imported MMR vaccine (control vaccine) as controls., Results: The safety of the Beijing MMR vaccine was confirmed after vaccinating 32 children above 2 years old. Among 104 children of 8-12 months were vaccinated with Beijing MMR vaccine, only 6.7% of the children had transient fever and 1.9% had signs of rashes but with no other signs observed. The positive seroconversion rates of measles, rubella and mumps anti-HI were 100%, 100% and 85.7% respectively. GMT also showed high lever., Conclusion: The MMR vaccine (Beijing) had good safety and immunogenicity which might be used to be the bases enhance immunization of measles.
