Difficulties in eliminating measles and controlling rubella and mumps: A cross-sectional study of a first measles and rubella vaccination and a second measles, mumps, and rubella vaccination
The reported coverage of the measles–rubella (MR) or measles–mumps–rubella (MMR) vaccine is greater than 99.0% in Zhejiang province. However, the incidence of measles, mumps, and rubella remains high. In this study, the researchers assessed MMR seropositivity and disease distribution by age on the basis of the current vaccination program, wherein the first dose of MR is administered at 8 months and the second dose of MMR is administered at 18–24 months.
