MV-COVID19: Measles Vaccine in HCW
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Till now, mortality reports among children below 9 years remains extremely low despite that the incidence of death toll is high and exceeding 50,000 patients among older population, One speculation for lower SARS infectivity is that cross-protective antibodies against measles vaccine ( MV). In mice susceptible to measles virus, recombinant MV induced the highest titers of neutralizing antibodies and fully protected immunized animals from intranasal infectious challenge with SARS-CoV,
The primary objective of the present study is to determine the benefit of measles vaccine in health care professional to decrease the incidence of COVID-19.
We Hypothesized that, measles vaccine may lower the incidence of serologically proven SARS-CoV-2 infection and reported respiratory illness

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- COVID-19 disease incidence [Time Frame: Measured over the 6 months following randomization]
Number of participants with asymptomatic or mild COVID-19 disease defined as fever (using self-reported questionnaire), plus at least one sign or symptom of respiratory disease including cough, runny/blocked nose (using self-reported questionnaire), plus positive SARS-Cov-2 test (PCR or serology)
Secondary Outcome Measures
- SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia [Time Frame: Measured over the 6 months following randomization]
Number of pneumonia cases (abnormal chest X-ray) (using self-reported questionnaire and/or medical/hospital records) associated with a positive SARS-CoV-2 test
- Critical care admission duration with SARS-CoV-2 [Time Frame: Measured over the 6 months following randomization]
Number of days admitted to critical care (using self-reported questionnaire and/or medical/hospital records) associated with a positive SARS-CoV-2 test
- Oxygen therapy with SARS-CoV-2 [Time Frame: Measured over the 6 months following randomization]
Need for oxygen therapy (using self-reported questionnaire and/or medical/hospital records) associated with a positive SARS-CoV-2 test
