| Purpose: |
|
This study will lay the foundation for determining the underlying reasons for lack of
immunity to mumps that led to the 2006 mumps outbreak on college campuses in the Mid West,
and it will assess the potential for similar outbreaks of measles and rubella. A total of
70 to 80 college students (age 18 to 22) on the Emory campus (or nearby college campuses or
the community) will be assessed for antibodies to measles, mumps or rubella by drawing a
one-time blood sample. Their medical records will be verified for documentation of
immunization with MMR vaccine prior to enrollment in the study. If a study volunteer is
found to not have MMR immunity, they will be offered an MMR-II vaccine. For this group,
additional blood specimens will be obtained.
