Measles vaccine
MR (Eolarix, 1994)
"Eolarix is contra-indicated in subjects with known systemic hypersensivity to
neomycin.
As with all injectable vaccines, appropriate
medical treatment should always be readily avail able in cases of rare anaphylactic
reactions following the administration of the vaccine.
Side effects........ In a very few subjects
convulsions may accompany the fever. Rarely, transient erthralgia and arthritis with or
without effusion may occur. Immediate allergic-type reactions have been reported
rarely.....Rarely, transient polyneuropathy, encephalitis or thrombocytopenic purpura
could occur. Reactions at the site of injection are rare and usually mild. There
have been very rare reports of both Guillain-Barre syndrome, hemiplegia and retrobulbar
neuritis. There have been isolated reports of subacute sclerosing
panencephalitis (SSPE). The reported rate is less than the frequency associated with
natural measles."---Eolarix
"In egg-sensitive children, measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccination may cause acute allergic reactions; therefore....we recommend that egg-allergic children should continue to have cutaneous tests done to the MMR vaccine and careful observation during desensitization in those children with positive skin tests."--- Trotter AC, et al (1994) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/htbin-post/Entrez/query?uid=8291745&form=6&db=m&Dopt=b
