100% [HB at visit 1, M-M-R II and Td at 4.5 months]
SP defined as >0.10 IU/ml (EIA)

EIA: Enzyme Immunoassay; ELISA: Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; HB: Hepatitis B; NR: Not reported; PRN: Plaque reduction neutralization; SCR: Seroconversion rate; SPR: Seropositivity rate; SP: seroprotection; SRR: seroresponse rate; Td: Tetanus-diphtheria

*Authors noted that the mumps antibody levels obtained with the present tests may not accurately reflect actual immunity.

**All other antigens also 100% in both groups with the exception of 98.8% for tetanus and diphtheria in the group receiving HB at visit 1 while M-M-R II and Td at visit 4.5 months.
