Vaccination against measles had been possible in Sweden since 1971. Between 1972 and 1977 the acceptance of the measles vaccination was low, only 10-15% of the child population were vaccinated. It increased thereafter much due to that many pediatrics who had been negative to vaccination against measles in the beginning changed and accepted the immunization. In 1981, reports from child-health centres showed that 56% of all the pre-school children had been vaccinated against measles and between 1988 and 1990 it was found that 70% of the 12-year-old children already had received a measles immunization prior to the MMR vaccination.
