Dear All ,
The question that I want to raise is do we need MMR mass vaccination to reduce
the incidence of Congenital heart disease or measles vaccination . Knowingly
that measles morbidity is very common in Indian subcontinent ,mortality caused
by measles is very high . 2) We have a potent vaccine available . 3) Human are
the only reservoir of measles like polio virus and there is all possibility to
eradicate measles if we wish .
4) It is for IAP to decide which is more important to reach MDG 4 goal.
regards
Dr Rajiv Sharan( Dip.N.B, MNAMS)

Thank you Dr Kiran for your views.
The second part of question is still unaswered ie the % of congential heart
disease caused by Rubella. And some of your own points need to be answered.
Perhaps someone will!!
Thanks,
