Despite vaccination coverage over 95%, a measles outbreak started in May 2013 in the Netherlands. As of 28 August, there were 1,226 reported cases, including 82 hospitalisations. It is anticipated that the outbreak will continue. Most cases were orthodox Protestants (n=1,087/1,186; 91.7%) and unvaccinated (n=1,174/1,217; 96.5%). A unique outbreak control intervention was implemented: a personal invitation for measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccination was sent for all children aged 6–14 months living in municipalities with MMR vaccination coverage below 90%.
尽管疫苗接种率超过 95%，但麻疹疫情仍于 2013 年 5 月在荷兰爆发。截至 8 月 28 日，共报告了 1226 例病例，包括 82 例住院病例。预计疫情将持续下去。大多数病例是东正教新教徒（n=1087/1186；91.7%）和未接种疫苗者（n=1174/1217；96.5%）。实施了一项独特的疫情控制干预措施：向所有居住在麻疹-腮腺炎-风疹（MMR）疫苗接种覆盖率低于 90%的市镇、年龄在 6-14 个月的儿童发送个人麻疹-腮腺炎-风疹疫苗接种邀请。
