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)

This trial tests whether giving measles and BCG vaccines to mothers and their children after the child turns 12 months is safe and helpful. It specifically looks at women who are not pregnant and meet several health and study-area requirements.
This study checks if the measles vaccine works well in children with sickle cell disease. It aims to help protect children with this condition from measles.
This study looks at how children's immune systems respond to measles, comparing those who are protected to those who are not. It may help us understand why measles affects children differently, which could lead to better care.
This study tests whether changing the measles vaccine timing in 6-month-old children can reduce allergy risk and also help protect against unrelated infections. If your child is already up to date with routine vaccines, they may be eligible for a modified measles (MMR) schedule used in the trial.
This study tests whether giving the pneumococcal vaccine during hospitalization for severe malnutrition can help prevent infections. It may help protect your child from serious illness.
This study checks if giving measles-rubella and yellow fever vaccines together on the same day is safe and works well for babies. It is for healthy infants aged 9-12 months who have not had these vaccines before. The goal is to see if giving both at once is a good option for protecting babies.
