| Abstract | Measles has been a major cause of illness and death in children and vaccination against the disease is part of the WHO global immunization program. A suitable vaccine should create maximum immune response against the pathogen and must be safe for the user. Thus, after production, vaccines must be analyzed and controlled by the producer and confirm by relevant governmental organizations. The Food and Drug Control Lab (FDCL), Ministry of Health, is the secondary control center on potency of vaccines in Iran. In this study, we have set up the WHO and NIBSC methods in FDCL and compare these methods on determining the potency of measles vaccine. | en |
