There were gathered demographic data collected by the Main Statistical Office (GUS) concerning Polish society. There were analysed the incidence, morbidity and mortality rates as well as the number of cases and number of deaths from measles in Poland in the years 1968-1998. It was stated that the introduction of prophylactic vaccinations against infectious diseases totally changed the epidemiologic situation. It was also stated that measles is a good example of the influence of prophylactic vaccinations on the course of disease. The measles vaccinations caused the elimination of periodicity of the disease, increase in the interepidemic periods, decrease in incidence rates and nearly eliminated morbidity from this disease. There is a chance of eradication of measles in Poland provided that mandatory vaccination periods are strictly kept and 99% of children at the age of two years are vaccinated.
收集了主要统计局（GUS）关于波兰社会的人口统计数据。分析了1968年至1998年波兰麻疹的发病率、患病率、死亡率以及病例数和死亡数。结果表明，针对传染病的预防性疫苗接种的引入彻底改变了流行病学状况。还指出，麻疹是预防性疫苗接种对疾病进程影响的一个很好的例子。麻疹疫苗接种消除了疾病的周期性，延长了流行间期，降低了发病率，并且几乎消除了该疾病的患病率。如果严格遵守强制接种期限并且99%的两岁儿童接种疫苗，波兰就有机会根除麻疹。
