[Prevention of mumps in preschool institutions using a live mumps vaccine made from strain L-3].

Abstract
The effectiveness of the emergency vaccinal prophylaxis of epidemic parotitis was studied in 19 children's day-care centers. As revealed in this study, the immunological effectiveness of vaccination did not depend on the age of vaccinees, but sharply decreased if live parotitis vaccine contained less than 10,000 HADU50 per immunization dose. After a single administration of the vaccine 91.1 +/- 0.98% of children were found to produce mumps antibodies. The immunization of children with live parotitis vaccine prepared from strain l-3 immediately after the first case of parotitis had been registered proved to be a highly effective measure. The coefficient of epidemiological effectiveness was 96.4%.
