A high rate of measles transmission has occurred in Los Angeles County since 1987. To determine measles vaccination coverage among Latino preschoolers, the group at highest risk of measles during this period, a cluster survey was conducted among Latino households with children aged 12 to 59 months. Of 279 children enrolled, 240 (86%, 95% confidence interval = 81% to 91%) reportedly had received the measles vaccine. Measles vaccination coverage among Latino preschoolers in Los Angeles County is insufficient to halt measles transmission within this subpopulation.
自1987年以来,洛杉矶县出现了高麻疹传播率。为确定在此期间麻疹风险最高的群体——拉丁裔学龄前儿童的麻疹疫苗接种覆盖率,对有12至59个月大孩子的拉丁裔家庭进行了整群抽样调查。在登记的279名儿童中,据报告有240名(86%,95%置信区间为81%至91%)接种了麻疹疫苗。洛杉矶县拉丁裔学龄前儿童的麻疹疫苗接种覆盖率不足以阻止该亚人群内的麻疹传播。
