Measles, mumps, and rubella revaccination in children after completion of chemotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: a single-center prospective efficacy and safety analysis

The patient had no sick contacts and no significant past medical history other than ALL. The patient had been given all recommended childhood vaccinations.
