    Summary

    Maternal measles antibodies disappear by 7 months, supporting 9-month measles vaccination. Studies show no difference in antibody response or persistence regardless of vaccination age.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Immunology
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Maternal antibodies wane, impacting infant protection against measles.
    • Optimal timing for measles vaccination is crucial for effective immunization programs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the feasibility of initiating measles vaccination at 9 months of age.
    • To assess maternal antibody persistence and vaccine response in infants.

    Main Methods:

    • Serological survey conducted from 1979 to 1985.
    • Investigated maternal antibody persistence in 188 infants (1-8 months).
    • Compared antibody response and antibody persistence in infants vaccinated at different ages.

    Main Results:

    • Maternal measles antibodies were undetectable after 7 months of age.
    • No significant difference in antibody response between infants vaccinated at 9-11 months versus those vaccinated after 12 months.
    • No significant difference in vaccine-induced antibody persistence (1-4 years post-vaccination) based on vaccination age.

    Conclusions:

    • Initiating measles vaccination at 9 months is a satisfactory age.
    • Study supports the recommendation for early measles immunization in Romania.
