Does prior immunization with measles, mumps, and rubella vaccines contribute to the antibody response to COVID-19 antigens?
Incidence and severity of SARS-CoV2 infection are significantly lower in children and teenagers proposing that certain vaccines, routinely administered to neonates and children may provide cross-protection against this emerging infection.

Summary: | Incidence and severity of SARS-CoV2 infection are significantly lower in children and teenagers proposing that certain vaccines, routinely administered to neonates and children may provide cross-protection against this emerging infection.
To assess the cross-protection induced by prior measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccinations against COVID-19.
The antibody responses to MMR and tetanus vaccines were determined in 53 patients affected with SARS-CoV2 infection and 52 age-matched healthy subjects. Serum levels of antibodies specific for NP and RBD of SARS-CoV2 were also determined in both groups of subjects with ELISA.
Our results revealed significant differences in anti-NP (P |
