 Earlier prime-BOOST schedule to improve MEasles protection in high burden settings (BoostME)
REFNo: HS2883ES

Safety Objectives 1.To assess the safety and reactogenicity profile of the vaccine when given at different ages 2.To assess the number of measles infections throughout the study. Primary Objectives 1.To compare protective measles antibody concentrations at 2.5 years of age in infants receiving an early (6 months) compared to standard (9 month) dose of MCV, and a booster dose at 18 months of age. 2.To compare protective measles antibody concentrations one month after a second dose of MCV given at 12 months (early) compared to standard (18 months), in those who received an early (6 months) first dose. Secondary Objectives •To describe the measles antibody concentrations one month after first dose in infants receiving an early (6 months) compared to standard (9 month) dose of MCV. •To describe the effect of maternal antibodies on infant humoral and cellular immune response to first and second doses in children vaccinated under different schedules. •To describe the effect of maternal HIV infection on infant antibody responses post MCV1 and MCV2 given at different schedules •To describe the impact of different vaccination schedules on responses to the rubella component of the vaccine. Community Objectives To assess the effect of a measles vaccination clinical trial on public perceptions of measles immunisation
