Pharmaceutical manufacturer Merck & Co. Inc. has projected that,  beginning 
in July, current supplies of its measles-mumps-rubella-varicella, or  MMR-V, 
vaccine would be depleted, possibly resulting in back orders for the  
combination vaccine in the coming months. The company expects the vaccine to  remain 
unavailable through the rest of 2007.
