About Measles Vaccine.

Measles vaccines belong to the class of live attenuated viral vaccines, categorized pharmacologically as active immunizing agents.

They function by introducing an attenuated strain of the measles virus to stimulate an active immune response, prompting the production of specific neutralizing antibodies and cellular immunity without causing severe infection.

Most commonly administered in combination formulations—such as measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) or measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella (MMRV)—these vaccines are indicated for the prevention of measles (rubeola) infection and its serious complications, including pneumonia, encephalitis, and subacute sclerosing panencephalitis.
