Abstract

We have experienced 7 cases of measles in previously immunized children. Such cases could be resulted from exposure to measles virus in the state of failure to the antibody formation or unusally rapid abolishment in antibody titer. To minimized the failure of vaccine, more careful attention should be required in the way of reservation of vaccine, method of vaccination (mix well all the diluent with lyophilized vaccine and then inject the total volume (0. 5ml, 1, 000 TC-ID50) of reconstituted vaccine subcutaneously) and selection of the proper age.
