Sir.—We previously reported1 the advantages of giving measles vaccine mixed with diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and pertussis (DTP) vaccine or diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, poliomyelitis (DTPP) vaccine with one syringe and needle. We found that measles virus survived mixing with these vaccines and remained potentially immunogenic for at least four hours. Herein, we report the antibody response of monkeys and children to measles vaccine mixed with DTPP vac
