Abstrakt: Controlled study lasting 6 years showed that booster immunization against measles was highly effective in children remaining seronegative, i. e. susceptible to this infection, after primary immunization: E = 97.5 +/- 0.12% (K = 35.7). Annual serological examination of children given booster immunization revealed that 87.6% of initially seronegative children retained specific antihemagglutinins for 5.5 years (the term of observation). The effectiveness of booster immunization against measles did not depend on the age when primary immunization had been made.
