Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and immunogenicity of the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 in healthcare workers at one medical institution. The effectiveness of the MMR vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 was evaluated in overall healthcare workers (HCWs). In addition, neutralizing antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 were measured according to the subjects' measles immunity status with serum samples collected before the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic period. The effectiveness of the MMR vaccine for SARS-CoV-2 in all HCWs and measles IgG-positive subjects was 34% (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 1.20, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.53-2.70) and 34% (aOR = 0.66, CI = 0.38-18.4), respectively. The neutralizing antibody levels for SARS-CoV-2 were low in all groups regardless of the measles immune status. The MMR vaccine alone may not provide sufficient protection against SARS-CoV-2.
期刊介绍:
Viruses (ISSN 1999-4915) is an open access journal which provides an advanced forum for studies of viruses. It publishes reviews, regular research papers, communications, conference reports and short notes. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. We also encourage the publication of timely reviews and commentaries on topics of interest to the virology community and feature highlights from the virology literature in the ''News and Views'' section. Electronic files or software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material.
