A large number of chickenpox cases, indicates the rationale for the use of chickenpox vaccinations. In Poland since 2002, chickenpox vaccination is included in the National Immunisation Programme as recommended.(1)
To assess epidemiological situation of chickenpox in Poland in 2015 in comparison to previous years
The descriptive analysis was based on based on the results of the analysis of aggregate data published in the annual bulletins “Infectious diseases and poisonings in Poland in 2015” and “Vaccinations in Poland in 2015” (2,3). National Immunisation Programme for year 2015 was also used (4)
In 2015, 187 624 cases of chickenpox were registered in Poland, the highest number of cases in Mazowieckie voivodeship and the lowest in Opolskie voivodeship. The incidence was 487.9 and was lower than in 2014 (575.9). The highest incidence 4532.5 was recorded in children in 0-4 age group. The chickenpox incidence among men (515.5) was higher comparing to women (462.1), and among rural residents (508.0) was higher by 9.8 % than among urban residents (474.7). Number of cases hospitalized due to chickenpox was 1 340. Number of people vaccinated against chickenpox was 63 138
In 2015, there was decrease in number of chickenpox in Poland, which can be related to the periodicity of the increase in morbidity, the use of vaccination against chickenpox, prophylactic vaccination activities and the benefits of vaccination, as well as the increase of knowledge of the general public on the ability to prevent infectious diseases that can be prevented by vaccination
大量水痘病例表明了使用水痘疫苗的合理性。自2002年起,水痘疫苗接种在波兰被纳入国家免疫规划并成为推荐项目。(1)
评估2015年波兰水痘的流行病学状况,并与前几年进行比较。
描述性分析基于对年度公报《2015年波兰的传染病和中毒情况》和《2015年波兰的疫苗接种情况》(2,3)中公布的汇总数据分析结果。同时也参考了2015年的国家免疫规划(4)。
2015年,波兰共登记了187624例水痘病例,其中马佐夫舍省病例数最多,奥波莱省病例数最少。发病率为487.9,低于2014年(575.9)。0-4岁儿童的发病率最高,为4532.5。男性的水痘发病率(515.5)高于女性(462.1),农村居民的发病率(508.0)比城市居民(474.7)高9.8%。因水痘住院的病例数为1340例。接种水痘疫苗的人数为63138人。
2015年,波兰水痘病例数有所下降,这可能与发病率上升的周期性、水痘疫苗的使用、预防性疫苗接种活动及疫苗接种的益处有关,也与公众对通过接种疫苗预防传染病能力的认识提高有关
