In the absence of an immunisation programme, epidemics of mumps have occurred at three-yearly intervals in England and Wales. Mumps has been the commonest cause of viral meningitis in children. Routine immunisation (as part of combined measles/mumps/rubella vaccine) was introduced in 1988 and has had a substantial impact on the disease. There has been a 79% reduction in notified cases over two years and the epidemic cycle has been interrupted. Prospects for elimination are good.
在没有免疫规划的情况下,英格兰和威尔士每隔三年就会发生腮腺炎疫情。腮腺炎一直是儿童病毒性脑膜炎最常见的病因。1988年开始实施常规免疫(作为麻疹/腮腺炎/风疹联合疫苗的一部分),这对该疾病产生了重大影响。两年内报告病例减少了79%,疫情周期被打断。消除腮腺炎的前景良好。
