Patterns of Decline in Measles, Mumps, and Rubella Neutralizing Antibodies and Protection Levels Through 10 Years After a Second and Third Dose of MMR Vaccine
These findings indicate that even when MMR antibodies wane, protection against disease is largely retained. Waning of mumps antibodies was greater than for measles and rubella in both 2- and 3-dose vaccinees, likely because a greater proportion failed to mount a robust initial response.
