Brief summary describing the background
and objectives of the trial
|
Since the World Health Organization (WHO) labelled the new disease that originated in Wuhan, China Coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19) all the world has been suffering from its consequences including health, economic and political problems.
Search for vaccine started and as a new vaccine may be difficult to find with unexpected side effects we thought of using an older vaccine.
Till now, mortality reports among children below 9 years remains extremely low despite that the incidence of the death toll is high and exceeding 500,000 patients among the older population. One speculation for lower SARS infectivity is those cross-protective antibodies against measles vaccine ( MV). In mice susceptible to measles virus, recombinant MV induced the highest titers of neutralizing antibodies and fully protected immunized animals from intranasal infectious challenge with SARS-CoV
We thought of Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccine as a potential preventive measure. |
