The measles and rubella cohorts included 36 and 33 patients, respectively, who received MR vaccination between March 2010 and December 2023. MR vaccination significantly increased IgG titers against measles from 5.48 (± 3.61) at T0 (pre-vaccination) to 14.15 (± 10.31) at T1 (1 year post-vaccination) and against rubella from 3.90 (± 2.82) at T0 to 58.93 (± 44.46) at T1 (both p < 0.001). Multivariate analyses in the measles cohort showed that lower IgG antibody titers at T0 were significantly associated with high responder status (OR 0.57, 95% CI 0.35-0.96, p = 0.029). High responders had significant mean changes in IgG antibody titers from T0 to each time point from T1 to T5 (5 years post-vaccination) for both measles and rubella.
