Abstract

  We determined the side effects of measles vaccination in our hospital. The measles antibody levels were measured in all 269 staff members aged under 39 years on all and 381 aged over 40 on request in our hospital by the hemagglutination inhibition method. Vaccination was given to 165 staff members with antibody levels were 16 times or below from May 23 to 30, 2009. Using a questionnaire, we surveyed the health conditions among these staff for 28 days after their vaccinations. Questionnaires were recovered from 11 staff (67.3%). Thirty-six of the 111 staffs (32.4%) had side effects: cough and/or runny noise in 18, diarrhea in 13, fever in 5, emesis in 4, vomiting in 3, and others. No staff member suffered severe side effects. There was no correlation between first vaccination and second or third vaccination. These results are useful for devising better procedures against the side effects of vaccination.<br>
