Measles Vaccination Elicits a Polyfunctional Antibody Response, Which Decays More Rapidly in Early Vaccinated Children

Abstract

Antibodies elicited in early-vaccinated children are equally polyfunctional to those elicited from children who received vaccination at 14 months. However, these antibody functionalities decay more rapidly than those induced later in life, which may lead to suboptimal, long-term protection.
