“…In Britain the disease still causes considerable morbidity being particularly severe in young and deprived children (Miller, 1978). GPs have played an important role in helping to establish the superiority in efficacy and safety of live attentuated measles vaccine over killed vaccine (Watson, 1965). Although a safe and effective vaccine has been available since 1968 the overall acceptance rate in Britain is still low (around 60 %), in contrast to the USA where measles vaccine uptake has been over 90 %.…”

And so the source of infection could usually be traced, and, with little or no immunity, spread was often rapid.

The sample tested was in the final freeze-dried form exactly as used for the inoculation of children (Benson et al 1964;Watson, 1965).…”
