IMMUNITY IN MUMPS : VI. EXPERIMENTS ON THE VACCINATION OF HUMAN BEINGS WITH FORMOLIZED MUMPS VIRUS

Abstract

The results observed after experimental inoculation of active mumps virus into 41 vaccinated and 32 unvaccinated children,-with the consent of their parents or guardians,-indicated that formol-inactivated mumps virus obtained from the parotid gland of the infected monkey and employed as a vaccine in the manner which has been described increased the resistance of about half of those to whom it was administered.
