ATLANTA, April 29, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Epidemiological data revealed in an MMR vaccines and COVID-19 investigation by World Organization suggests it is possible that widely deployed MMR and other measles-rubella containing vaccines protect older adults as well as the young from COVID-19.
Hong Kong is a prime example of a region which has extended its MMR vaccination campaigns to include many adults. A city with nearly the same population as New York City, Hong Kong has seen only four deaths from COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic. New York City, by contrast, has had over 12,500 deaths during the same period.
World Organization’s conclusion that MMR vaccines may have a protective effect has been corroborated by a recent unreviewed study be neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge indicating the rubella component of MMR has a protective effect against COVID-19.
