Additional Information for Measles Virus Vaccine Live
Measles Virus Vaccine Live is a type of vaccine that is used to prevent measles, a highly contagious viral infection. It belongs to the supply class Drugs And Biologicals in the supply group Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies.
This vaccine contains a weakened form of the measles virus, which stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies against the virus. When a person is vaccinated with the measles virus vaccine live, their body develops immunity to the virus, making them less likely to contract measles if they are exposed to it.
Measles is a serious illness that can lead to complications such as pneumonia, encephalitis (swelling of the brain), and even death. Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent measles and protect individuals and communities from outbreaks.
It is important to note that the measles virus vaccine live is typically administered as part of a combination vaccine, such as the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine or the measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella (MMRV) vaccine. These combination vaccines provide protection against multiple diseases in a single shot.
The measles virus vaccine live is typically administered to children in two doses, with the first dose given at 12-15 months of age and the second dose given at 4-6 years of age. It can also be given to adults who have not been previously vaccinated or have not had measles.
As with any vaccine, there may be potential side effects, such as mild fever, rash, or soreness at the injection site. However, serious side effects are rare.
It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for specific information about the measles virus vaccine live, including its availability, recommended schedule, and any contraindications or precautions.
