Measles-mumps vaccination in the FRG: an empirical analysis after 14 years of use. I. Efficacy and analysis of vaccine failures

The influence of measles vaccination on the incidence of otosclerosis in Germany

“…On this basis, the rates of vaccination between 1974 and 2004 were reconstructed. Vaccine manufacturers or pharmacist associations were unable to provide any data on the annual quantity of vaccine sold from which a more precise rate of vaccination could have been calculated for the period between 1974 and 2004 [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34].…”

Current Status of Mumps Virus Infection: Epidemiology, Pathogenesis, and Vaccine

“…The Jeryl Lynn and Urabe Am9 strains have been the most popularly used in the world, followed by the Leningrad-Zagreb, Leningrad-3, and Rubini strains. The newer RIT 4385 strain was derived from the Jeryl Lynn strain [21,[72][73][74][75]. Initially, mumps vaccines (panel) were produced as a form of monovalent vaccine, and mumps vaccines are currently manufactured as a component of the trivalent measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine worldwide [73].…”

“…Initially, mumps vaccines (panel) were produced as a form of monovalent vaccine, and mumps vaccines are currently manufactured as a component of the trivalent measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine worldwide [73]. At least five known combination MMR vaccines have been developed since the 1960s worldwide (Table 2) [72][73][74][75][76]. To date, the MMR vaccine has been used in more than 120 countries worldwide [2,76].…”

Orchitis following Mumps Vaccination in an Adult

“…In Germany, these vaccines have been used since 1976. During the last 16 years, about 5.5 million vaccines with live attenuated virus of the Jeryll-Lynn strain (Behringwerke AG, D-3550 Marburg/Lahn, FRG) have been distributed [2], In the same period, four certain cases of vaccination-related mumps orchitis have been published [3],…”
