Since the beginning of 2008, France is experiencing a resurgence of measles. It started in a religious traditionalist group with low coverage and secondarily spread to the general population. This situation is the consequence of the insufficient vaccine coverage (less than 90 % at 24 months of age) which had led to the accumulation of susceptibles over the last years. More than 550 cases have been notified in 2008, the vast majority being unvaccinated. One measles-related death has occurred early 2009. Efforts to enhance communication to the general public and the health professionals on measles vaccination and control measures around cases are ongoing.
自2008年初以来，法国麻疹疫情呈复苏态势。疫情始于疫苗接种覆盖率较低的宗教传统主义群体，随后传播至普通人群。这种情况是疫苗接种覆盖率不足（24个月龄时低于90%）的结果，这导致过去几年易感人群不断积累。2008年报告的病例超过550例，绝大多数未接种疫苗。2009年初出现了1例与麻疹相关的死亡病例。目前正在努力加强向公众和卫生专业人员宣传麻疹疫苗接种以及围绕病例的控制措施。
