First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether children with sickle cell disease (SCD) develop enough antibodies after getting the measles vaccine. Researchers will enroll 130 children aged 6 months to 6 years who are due for their measles shots. Blood samples will be taken a few weeks after each dose to check if their immune system responds well.
