Summary: A prospective cohort study on 785 adult travellers who were incompletely vaccinated during a measles outbreak in Europe found that 25.2% reported adverse events post-vaccination. Females had higher rates of reported adverse events compared to males, while there were no significant differences in adverse event rates between the MMR and MMRV vaccines.

Summary: This study focused on exploring the aspects of their role that practice nurses perceive to be most influential when promoting the MMR vaccine, as well as the strategies they employ. The findings revealed that promoting vaccination and assisting parents in making informed decisions were key aspects of their role, with specific strategies implemented to achieve these goals.

Summary: The research found that the reported adverse events in young adults receiving a third measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine (MMR3) in a non-outbreak setting were mild and transient, indicating that MMR3 is safe and tolerable in this population.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between overweight/obesity and antibody persistence after vaccination against measles, mumps, rubella (MMR), and hepatitis B virus (HBV). The results showed that there was no significant association between lack of serologic protection and BMI for both HBV vaccine and each component of the MMR vaccine.

Summary: The MMR vaccine is effective and safe in preventing measles, mumps, and rubella, with high efficacy rates. However, public debate over vaccine safety continues, highlighting the need for more evidence to support its use.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of live attenuated MMR vaccines on the risk of being hospitalized for COVID-19 in children. The results showed that children exposed to MMR vaccines did not have a decreased risk of COVID-19 hospitalization compared to those not exposed.

Summary: The article reviews the challenges in controlling measles, mumps and rubella infections, mainly related to low immunization coverage and vaccine characteristics. Strategies to address these challenges include raising awareness of disease severity and vaccines impact, targeting high-risk population, improving vaccination access, setting up outbreak preparedness plans, and strengthening surveillance systems.

Summary: This narrative review discusses the increased relative risk of febrile convulsion (FC) after the first dose of quadrivalent measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella (MMRV) vaccines compared to measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) and varicella (V) vaccines administered separately. However, the overall risk of FC is still low compared to other causes and the benefits of MMRV vaccination outweigh the risks. Co-administration of MMRV with other routine vaccines does not increase the risk of FC. Predisposed children may have a lower risk of FC if they receive MMR+V instead of MMRV as the first dose.

Summary: Measles outbreaks are still occurring in England despite the introduction of the vaccine in 1988. This study aims to investigate the impact of income disparities on MMR vaccine coverage to determine if there is a relationship between the two factors.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate the seroconversion and waning rates of the measles, mumps, and rubella components of MMR vaccines. The results provide essential insights for improving the accuracy of mathematical and statistical modeling to predict and understand future outbreaks of measles, mumps, and rubella in countries with high vaccine uptake.

Summary: A significant proportion of adult solid organ transplant recipients are seronegative for at least one of the MMRV viruses. Post-transplant, some recipients may develop vaccine-related seroconversion. Vaccination is crucial for the health of SOT recipients.

Summary: This study found that a third dose of measles-mumps-rubella vaccine (MMR) enhances humoral immune responses specific to measles, but not cellular immune responses. These findings support the administration of MMR3 to seronegative or high-risk individuals.

Summary: Studies have shown that there is an increased risk of febrile convulsions after the first immunization with the quadrivalent measles-mumps-rubella-varicella vaccine compared to other vaccination options. However, this increased risk is not observed after the second dose of the vaccine, regardless of factors such as age, sex, history of febrile convulsions, or type of the first dose vaccine.

Summary: SARS-CoV-2 cases in UC campus populations were generally low in September and October 2020, but increased in November and especially December, reaching a peak in early to mid-January 2021. Many students were infected during holiday breaks and detected as cases upon returning to campus. The proportion of students testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 during Fall 2020 ranged from 1.2% to 5.2%, with most campuses having lower positivity rates than the 20-29-year-old population in their respective counties.

Summary: Clinical research in academic medical centers is challenging and often fails to reach enrollment goals. Students under-represented in medicine (URiM) are critical to addressing health disparities but face barriers in pursuing medicine as a career. The Academic Associate (AcA) program provides undergraduate students, including URiM students, with pre-medicine opportunities, access to physician mentors, and unique educational experiences. Since its inception, the program has achieved high levels of success in enrolling patients into clinical research and has supported students in medical school, graduate school, and biomedical research employment.
