Abstract

COVID-19 is an infection caused by SARS-CoV-2 and has been declared a pandemic by WHO. At present there is no therapy or vaccine available for handling COVID-19. Data obtained in China, Italy and South Korea show fewer children under 10 years of age are infected with COVID-19, and even if they have an infection they generally experience mild symptoms even without symptoms. Children get routine vaccinations and various infections. This seems to train the immune system of children so that it is more immune to COVID-19. MMR vaccination demonstrates partial preventive protection against COVID-19. This is due to several previous studies that measles vaccine provides protection against pathogens other than measles and also because of the similarity between the protein S in SARS-CoV-2 with protein F in Measles virus (measles) and protein E in Rubella virus (German measles). Prophylaxis is a way to prevent disease. This review will discuss the possibility of giving MMR vaccination as a protection against COVID-19.
