Measles vaccination for children during hospital visits
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial offers a measles vaccine to children who have not had full measles shots, timed around visits to a children’s hospital. It aims to see whether vaccinating children at these health care contacts helps improve protection against measles.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has not received measles vaccine fully (either unvaccinated or only the first dose)
- Your child is between 9 and 59 months old (or 15–59 months if only partially vaccinated)
- Your child has a hospital visit that counts (discharged from the pediatric ward or an outpatient visit to that ward at Hospital Simao Mendes)
- Your child does not have a fever over 38.0°C at the time of screening
- Your child’s upper arm size is not below 110 mm (an indicator of low weight/poor growth)
