Measles Mumps Rubella Varicella Vaccine Live

Measles Mumps Rubella Varicella Vaccine Live Brand Name– ProQuad

What is Measles Mumps Rubella Varicella Vaccine Live

Measles Mumps Rubella Varicella Vaccine Live is a combination subcutaneous injection consisting of four live, attenuated virus vaccinations intended to confer immunity against measles (rubeola), mumps, varicella (chickenpox), and rubella (German measles) viruses in susceptible children 12 months to 12 years of age.

The measles component consists of the Ender’s line measles virus obtained from the attenuated Edmonston strain cultured from chick embryos.

The mumps component consists of the Jeryl Lynn™ strain cultured from chick embryos.

The rubella component consists of the Wistar Institute RA 27/3 strain of rubella virus propagated in human diploid [WI-38] cells, and the varicella component consists of the Oka/Merck strain of varicella-zoster virus propagated in MRC-5 cells. The 2008 recommended immunization schedule for children and adolescents includes 2 doses of measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine and 2 doses of the varicella vaccine.

Use of the combined measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella vaccine may prevent the need for 3 injections; the combined vaccine can be used to confer immunity against varicella.

The antibody responses to each of the antigens in ProQuad® were similar as compared with the responses after a single dose of the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine and of Varivax® (varicella virus vaccine) given at separate injection sites.

A second dose of ProQuad® may be administered regardless of whether varicella immunity is present either from vaccination or disease acquisition (see Dosage).

The FDA approved Proquad® in September 2005.

A refrigerator-stable formulation is FDA-approved, but the commercial availability date in the US is unknown.
