The study reported in this article was conducted under the auspices of WHO as part of the Organization's programme on measles vaccination.In the spring of 1964, 416 children aged between 8 months and 3 years were inoculated with one or another of the following agents: Enders Edmonston B vaccine (alone or with gamma-globulin), Schwarz vaccine, Beckenham 20 vaccine, Milovanovi? vaccine, and a placebo.Seroconversion rates ranged from 91% to 100%, which indicates that the vaccines tested were highly immunogenic. The incidence of reactions was low, and from the clinical point of view acceptable. Clinical comparison of the reactions provoked by the different vaccines showed that the lowest rate was in the groups given Schwarz vaccine and Enders Edmonston B plus gamma-globulin, and the highest in the group given Beckenham 20 vaccine. However, the greater frequency of reactions observed with Beckenham 20 vaccine might have been due to the high dose given in the first stage of the trial.Complications were observed in 10 children, of whom four were in the placebo group. In three of the remaining cases a causal connexion with the vaccine could not be excluded with certainty.
