Mumps, immunization against

Measles, Mumps, Rubella. Live, attenuated vaccines are used for simultaneous or separate immunization against measles, mumps, and mbeUa Hi children from around 15 months of age to puberty. Two doses, one at 12—15 months of age and the second at 4—6 or 11—12 years are recommended Hi the United States.

Examples of attenuated vaccines are Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) for immunization against tuberculosis, Sabin vaccine for poliomyelitis, attenuated Paramyxovirus parotitidus against mumps, and attenuated measles virus against measles.

A total of 20 cases of type I diabetes melhtus suspected to be induced by MMR immunization have been reported to Behringwerke, Marburg, Germany, probably due to the mumps component (79). The earliest case occurred 3 days after receiving the vaccine and the latest 7 months after immunization. Twelve cases were diagnosed within 30 days of immunization. The investigators considered the cases of diabetes meUitus to have a temporal relation to the immunization. For every 5 million children immunized against mumps 50 spontaneous cases of diabetes meUitus are to be expected by random coincidence within... 

The reports of the Institute of Medicine, National Academy of Sciences, Washington (on adverse events after pertussis and mbeUa immnnization (SED-12, 817) (SED-12, 825) and on adverse events after immunization against tetanus, diphtheria, measles, mumps, poliomyelitis, H. influenzae type b, and hepatitis B (SEDA-18,325) have provided useful reviews (13,14). The 1996 Update on vaccine side effects, adverse reactions, contraindications,... 

A vaccine would be an excellent way to intercept the newly injected sporozoites. This would be analogous to individuals who have been immunized against mumps having their immune system intercept the virus before it enters target cells. Unfortunately, with all of the effort being expended to develop a vaccine, no vaccine effective in humans has been developed. 

The historic objective of vaccination has been to induce long-lasting immunity against a disease for which the recipient is at risk. The most successful vaccination campaign eradicated smallpox as a public health problem. Particularly, vaccination against common infectious agents, including poliomyelitis, measles, mumps, and rubella, over the last 50 years has led to effective prevention of many diseases. 

Active immunization does not always result in permanent protection. Primary immunization against measles, mumps, poliomyelitis, and rubella appears to be permanent, and in each case...

As polysaccharide vaccines were shown to elicit only limited protection in infants and young children, conjugated polysaccharide vaccines were developed to provide a more potent and sustained immune response [2]. Many of these traditional vaccines target childhood diseases, and are used in combinations for pediatric applications in order to reduce the number of injections during the first years of life. Currently, vaccine combinations can prevent against between three to six different diseases, such as the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine or the diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis combination, which may be administered together with Haemophilus influenzae, hepatitis B, or poliovirus vac-...

Diseases Prevented by Immunization Routine immimizations provide protection against preventable diseases such as tetanus and diphtheria (effective for 10 years), as well as measles, mumps, and rubella (boosters recommended for those with birth dates after 1956). Vaccinations are imperative, especially for travel to risky areas.
