COVID-19 and Kawasaki Disease: Low MMR Vaccine Responsiveness Could Be Affecting Children According to World Organization

Retrieved on: 
Thursday, May 14, 2020

Some young children with a rare condition known as Kawasaki disease are, however, getting severe COVID-19 complications which could relate to a relationship between MMR vaccines and COVID-19.

Key Points: 
  • Some young children with a rare condition known as Kawasaki disease are, however, getting severe COVID-19 complications which could relate to a relationship between MMR vaccines and COVID-19.
  • A tremendous amount of data points to the conclusion that the rubella component of MMR vaccines is what protects most children from COVID-19.
  • The 1999 study by Kuijpers et al Kawasaki Disease: A Maturational Defect in Immune Responsiveness concluded that an incomplete responsiveness to measles-mumps-rubella vaccination was seen in patients with Kawasaki disease.
  • It follows that to the extent MMR vaccines are guarding children from COVID-19, those who have Kawasaki disease could be left largely unprotected.
