Population immunity to measles in Canada using Canadian Health Measures survey data - A Canadian Immunization Research Network (CIRN) study
Vaccine. 2022 Apr 28:S0264-410X(22)00437-6. doi: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2022.04.011. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe aimed to determine population immunity to measles in Canada, and to assess the risk of future outbreaks. We tested 11,176 sera from Cycles 2 (2009-2011) and 3 (2011-2013) cohorts from the biobank of Statistics Canada's Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS) using the BioPlex 2220 MMRV IgG assay. We then tested all BioPlex negative and equivocal samples using a more sensitive Plaque Reduction Neutralization Test (PRNT). We determined the weighted proportion of positive, equivocal, and negative samples by age, sex...

Second dose of measles-mumps-rubella-varicella vaccine (MMRV) and the risk of febrile convulsions
CONCLUSION: Use of MMRV at second dose is not associated with an increased risk of FC compared to MMR + V or MMR, irrespective of age, sex, history of FC, or type of first dose vaccine.PMID:35232594 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2022.02.072 (Source: Vaccine)

Vaccines for measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella in children
CONCLUSIONS: Existing evidence on the safety and effectiveness of MMR/MMRV vaccines support their use for mass immunisation. Campaigns aimed at global eradication should assess epidemiological and socioeconomic situations of the countries as well as the capacity to achieve high vaccination coverage. More evidence is needed to assess whether the protective effect of MMR/MMRV could wane with time since immunisation.PMID:34806766 | DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD004407.pub5 (Source: Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews)

Ten-year follow-up on efficacy, immunogenicity and safety of two doses of a combined measles-mumps-rubella-varicella vaccine or one dose of monovalent varicella vaccine: Results from five East European countries
CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicated that two doses of varicella zoster virus-containing vaccine provided better protection than one dose against varicella and induced antibody responses that persisted 10 years post-vaccination.PMID:33858718 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2021.03.085 (Source: Vaccine)
