Abstract
Eleven lots of combined bivalent and trivalent vaccines containing the measles (Moraten), mumps (Jeryl Lynn), and rubella (RA 2713) viruses gave satisfactory results in tests in initially seronegative children (measles, 493 children; mumps, 377; rubella, 586). There was no apparent suppression of antibody response against any of the viruses in the vaccines. The clinical reactions observed were mild and inconsequential. Substitution of the HPV 77-DE strain employed heretofore with the RA 27/3 is technically acceptable and offers the advantage of higher titer, slightly greater seroconversion rate, and more solid immunity against reinfection in nature.
