title: Seroepidemiology of measles, mumps and rubella virus infections in normal children and adults in southern Granada, Spain: response to a vaccination programme.
abstract: A seroepidemiological study of measles, mumps and rubella virus infection in normal children and adults in southern Granada, Spain, and the response to a vaccination programme was carried out. Protection from the mumps and rubella virus was reduced in the group of 3 to 7 year-old children vaccinated at age 15 months indicating the need for revaccination against rubella as well as the mumps virus.
