Abstract
The introduction of universal vaccination has led to significant decrease of infectious diseases incidence either bacterial or viral origin which had been participating in increased morbidity and mortality of population. Measles, rubella and also mumps viruses are supposed to be future candidates for eradication similarly as smallpox due to their human-to-human transmission and antigenic stability.
However, it is necessary to introduce vaccination in national immunization programs of countries where vaccination against measles, mumps and rubella is not established and improve immunization rate in countries with low vaccination coverage. Live attenuated vaccines against measles, mumps and rubella diseases are available for more than 40 years and currently provide high protectivity with minimum side effects.
