Abstract
SUMMARY A total of 21 rubella seronegative children vaccinated subcutaneously with Wistar RA 27/3 strain live attenuated rubella vaccine in a family study of vaccine virus transmissibility were reviewed after 6 years. Haemagglutinating inhibiting (HAI) antibody titres of sera collected 46 days, 2 years and 6 years after vaccination were compared. Antibody titres in the vaccinated subjects were not significantly influenced by time, infection in susceptible siblings or revaccination.Keywords
