In line with the worldwide strive to combat measles, the Swiss Federal Office of Public Heath (FOPH) launched a National Strategy for measles elimination 2011-2015. In this study, we highlight the importance of travel medicine consultations to complement measles vaccination programmes based on data from the Travel Clinic of the University of Zurich.
We analysed measles vaccination data from the Zurich Travel Clinic between July 2010 and February 2016 and focused on three groups: (i) all clients who received the measles vaccination, (ii) all clients aged>two years who received the measles vaccination ("catch-up vaccination"), and (iii) all clients aged>two years and born after 1963 ("FOPH recommended catch-up vaccination").
107,669 consultations were performed from 2010 to 2016. In 12,470 (11.6%) of these, a measles vaccination was administered; 90.9% measles vaccinations were given during a pre-travel consultation, and 99.4% were administered to individuals aged>two years ("catch-up vaccinations"). An "FOPH recommended catch-up vaccination" was received by 13.6% of all Zurich Travel Clinic clients aged >2years and born after 1963.
In this study, we highlight the importance of travel medicine consultations to enhance the measles vaccination coverage in the adult Swiss population.
为响应全球消除麻疹的努力，瑞士联邦公共卫生办公室（FOPH）于2011 - 2015年发起了一项消除麻疹国家战略。在本研究中，我们基于苏黎世大学旅行诊所的数据，强调旅行医学咨询对补充麻疹疫苗接种计划的重要性。
我们分析了2010年7月至2016年2月苏黎世旅行诊所的麻疹疫苗接种数据，并重点关注三组人群：（i）所有接受麻疹疫苗接种的客户；（ii）所有年龄大于两岁且接受麻疹疫苗接种的客户（“补种疫苗”）；（iii）所有年龄大于两岁且1963年后出生的客户（“FOPH建议的补种疫苗”）。
2010年至2016年共进行了107,669次咨询。其中12,470次（11.6%）进行了麻疹疫苗接种；90.9%的麻疹疫苗接种是在旅行前咨询期间进行的，99.4%接种对象为年龄大于两岁的人群（“补种疫苗”）。在苏黎世旅行诊所所有年龄大于两岁且1963年后出生的客户中，13.6%接受了“FOPH建议的补种疫苗”。
在本研究中，我们强调了旅行医学咨询对于提高瑞士成年人群麻疹疫苗接种覆盖率的重要性。
