Measles: How Serious Is It?

How Advisable Is Measles Vaccination?

The Public Health Laboratory Service of Great Britain, in collaboration with the Society of Medical Officers of Health, has just released a Report on a nationwide retrospective survey of the epidemic of measles which occurred in 1963. The prime pur pose of this analytic study was to obtain a truer picture of the frequency and nature of the more serious complications, in order to have reliable information on which to base a national policy of vaccination against measles.

The Report as published is a summary and analysis and inter pretation of the data from 53,008 question cards filled out largely by practicing physicians, assisted in some areas by health visitors calling at Patients' homes. The replies represent approximately one-sixth of all cases reported to the Registrar-General in Eng land and Wales from January through April, 1963.
