The recent measles outbreak in the Pacific Northwest has sent demand for the vaccine surging. Anyone who hasn’t been vaccinated is urged to get the vaccine, but do people who have already had it. During this time, however, measles cases and outbreaks occurred among vaccinated children.
Boston has counted its 14th case of measles. Two doses are about percent effective. At Merck, Maurice Hilleman was by this time also investigating the possibilities of combining (live) measles vaccine with other antigens.
But Merck did not produce DPT, and Hilleman eventually decided to combine measles vaccine with mumps and rubella. The vaccine protects against three diseases: measles , mumps, and rubella. Jeryl Lynn strain, from 54. Urabe strain, and from to for the Rubini strain.
