Measles Vaccine

It is given at the age of completed 9 months (270+ days of life). Transplacental maternal anti-measles antibodies persist in the child for as long as 9 months. These antibodies protect the child against measles, hence measles usually occurs after 9 months. Giving vaccine before 9 months may not be very effective due to interference by the maternal antibodies. This rule is not always true. In countries like India, a mother may be malnourished & may not have good titres of anti- measles antibodies. Children born to such mothers can suffer from measles as early as 6 months of life. Hence during epidemics of measles the vaccine can be given as early as 6 months, but this should be followed by one more measles vaccine at 9 months.
