Abstract
Measles immunisation of nine-month-old Thai children has been part of the national health programme since 1984. In this study we compared the seroconversion rate following measles immunisation in nine-month-old Thai children with the older age groups, i.e. 10 to 14 months of age, to see whether revaccination at over 12 months of age is necessary. In 223 children, 204 had no measles haemagglutination inhibition antibody before measles vaccination. The seroconversion rates in children aged nine to ten, 11 to 12, and 13 to 14 months were 96.1%, 94.5% and 100% respectively with no difference statistically.
