TL;DR: Little is known about the best predictors of immunocompetence among children in developing countries, so several different tests with the objectives of finding immunologic differences between the vaccine groups and identifying possible defects that could be corrected through specific interventions (e.g., vitamin A supplementation or nutritional rehabilitation).

TL;DR: Results suggest a possible beneficial effect of early MV in children that had not been exposed to an OPV campaign after enrolment, but could have been obscured by NSEs of the frequent OPV campaigns.

TL;DR: The difference in mortality observed in several studies during the first few years after vaccination may be explained by non-specific beneficial effects of the standard measles vaccine rather than a harmful effect of the high-titre vaccines.

TL;DR: The results corroborate that OPV attenuates the immune response to co-administered BCG at birth and test immune responses to other antigens.
