A study was carried out in Tabora region between July 1991 and September 1991, with the aim of determining the adequacy of measles vaccine given to children in Maternal Child Health clinics. Measles vaccine dose used per child was found to be 0.485 ml, which is about 0.385 ml when wastage due to removal of air bubbles is subtracted. Workers in the field need to be trained on the exact volume of vaccine required to be drawn into the syringe before vaccination, to ensure that a dose measuring exactly 0.5 ml of vaccine is injected to a child.
