Abstract

Leningrad-L3 Mumps Vaccine virus has been further attenuated by adaptation and passage on SPF chick embryo fibroblast cell cultures. This new mumps strain has been designated L-Zagreb and has been used to prepare mumps vaccines which meet the WHO requirements. Observations during both the field trial period prior to registration and during the later use of the vaccine showed that the few reactions observed were mild and that seroconversion was obtained in 88-98% of vaccines. The morbidity of mumps in Croatia declined more than tenfold after the introduction of the new vaccine. During a mumps epidemic, vaccine efficiency was calculated to be 97-100%.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
