Hemagglutination-inhibiting antibodies were retained in comparable levels eight years after vaccination with Enders' original Edmonston and more attenuated Moraten (Attenuvax) and Schwarz line measles vaccines. Neutralizing antibody persisted without substantial decline in titer for at least 9.5 years after administration of Jeryl Lynn mumps virus vaccine (Mumpsvax). Antibodies were retained without important decline in children and adults for at least 7.5 and 7 years, respectively, after administration of HPV-77 duck-modified rubella vaccine (Meruvax). The patterns of antibody persistence 7.5 years after administration of combined measles-mumps-rubella (M-M-R) and mumps-rubella (Biavax) vaccines, 6 years after administration of measles-rubella vaccine (M-R-VAX), and 4 years after administration of measles-mumps vaccine (M-M-VAX) were the same as for the monovalent vaccines, indicating no alteration in the retention of immunity. Subclinical reinfection evidenced by increase in homologous antibody titer was observed to follow vaccination the same as occurs after natural infection.

Neutralizing antibody following Jeryl Lynn mumps virus vaccine persisted for at least six years after vaccination without substantial decline in titer, and protective immunity was solidly retained through the sixth observation year. Hemagglutination-inhibiting antibodies following vaccination with Enders' original Edmonston and more attenuated Moraten and Schwarz lines measles vaccines were retained in comparable level through the fourth year. Antibody following HPV-77 duck rubella vaccine was retained without important decline for at least 3½ years. The pattern for antibody persistence following combined measles-mumps-rubella and mumps-rubella vaccine measured at three years and for measles-rubella vaccine measured at two years was the same as for the monovalent vaccines indicating no alteration in the retention of immunity. None of the children in this study lost his antibody completely. Subclinical reinfection evidenced by antibody increase was commonly seen in vaccinated persons.

Neutralizing antibody following Jeryl Lynn strain live mumps virus vaccine persisted for at least 4 years following vaccination, without substantial decline in titer. The pattern for mumps antibody persistence after vaccine paralleled that following natural mumps infection. No instances of mumps occurred among 18 vaccinated children in families who were exposed to infection by contact with natural mumps cases which occurred in siblings 32 to 44 months after the vaccine had been given. Similarly, no instances of mumps occurred among 25 children in classrooms who were exposed to natural mumps during the fourth school year following vaccination. The available data indicate that the protection afforded by the mumps virus vaccine will be lasting.

Antibody in human subjects persisted without substantial decline for 8 years after mumps vaccine (Jeryl Lynn), for 6 years after measles (Attenuvax), for 5½ years after rubella vaccine (HPV-77 duck), for 5 years after measles-mumps-rubella and mumps-rubella combined vaccines, for 4 years after measles and rubella, and for 2 years after measles-mumps vaccines, the longest periods tested. Protective immunity against mumps illness persisted through the eighth year. The patterns for antibody following vaccination parallel those for natural infection and indicate that immunity will be lasting. Subclinical reinfection evidenced by antibody increase was commonly seen in persons who had been vaccinated, much as follows the natural infection.

AbstractIn this extension of the phase 1 clinical study, we report the immunogenicity and reactogenicity of the booster dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, MVC-COV1901, administered six months after the completion of the primary two dose schedule. Antibody persistence was detected at 6 months after the second dose of MVC-COV1901, albeit at reduced levels. At 28 days after the booster dose, the neutralizing antibody titer was 1.7-fold higher compared to the previous peak at 2 weeks after the second dose. These data demonstrated the safety and immunogenicity of booster shot of MVC-COV1901 after the primary schedule of the vaccine.

A controlled study of B level Jeryl Lynn strain live attenuated mumps virus vaccine was carried out during June through November 1966 in the pediatric outpatient clinic of the John F. Kennedy Memorial Hospital in Philadelphia. Altogether, 924 children were given the vaccine and paired sera were taken from a sample of 101 of the children for purpose of measuring initial serologic status for mumps and for ascertaining antibody responses. Based on the results obtained, it was estimated that roughly 410 of the children who were vaccinated were initially seronegative for mumps. Forty-eight of the 49 children sampled who were initially without antibody developed mumps antibody following vaccination, giving a seroconversion rate of 98%. The vaccinated children presented no evidence of fever or other untoward clinical reaction referable to the vaccine. It was concluded that the vaccine was safe, highly efficacious in stimulating the production of neutralizing antibody, and readily applicable to the routine pediatric clinic.

In the summer and fall of 1968, during clinical rubella vaccine trials, clinical and laboratory surveillance of acute exanthematous illnesses was carried out. During this period, four children with acute transitory hemangioma-like lesions were noted; ECHO 25 virus was isolated from two of these patients and ECHO 32 was recovered from the other two children. All four children had four- fold or greater neutralizing antibody titer rises to their respective viruses. It is suggested that the individual lesions of the reported exanthems have a pathogenesis similar to other enteroviral maculopapular eruptions, except that vascular dilatation is arteriolar as well as capillary.

Reported mumps in the United States has declined to all-time low levels following the increasingly widespread use of mumps-virus vaccine. Mumps vaccine has proven safe and effective. Its incorporation into combined live-virus vaccines, especially measles-mumps-rubella, has made mumps vaccination a practical and economically feasible component of routine immunization activities. Because of the favorable experience to date with mumps vaccine and the associated drop in mumps morbidity and mortality, mumps control programs likely will receive increasing public health attention in the coming years.
