Between February 2014 and September 2015 a large measles outbreak (5,084 cases) occurred in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FB&H). The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of routine measles vaccination in the FB&H.
We conducted an analysis of the resurgence period surveillance data and a retrospective cohort study involving primary school aged children in randomly selected schools.
Measles cases occurred among all age groups, mostly among the unvaccinated. Among fully immunized, 2.1% contracted measles. Measles vaccine effectiveness was high. The study indicates that one dose reduced the risk for measles by 91.9% (95% CI: 81.4-96.4%), two doses reduced the risk by 97.3% (95% CI: 95.5-98.4%). No evidence of waning immunity was found. Our survey reveals that a significant number of children had no immunization status registered.
The results of this study suggest that the resurgence was likely caused by an accumulation of measles-susceptible children not being vaccinated. This vaccine effectiveness study does not support possible vaccination failure as a contributing factor.
2014年2月至2015年9月期间,波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那联邦(波黑联邦)爆发了大规模麻疹疫情(5084例病例)。本研究旨在评估波黑联邦常规麻疹疫苗接种的效果。
我们对疫情复发期的监测数据进行了分析,并对随机抽取学校中适龄小学生进行了回顾性队列研究。
麻疹病例在所有年龄组中均有发生,大多数发生在未接种疫苗的人群中。在完全免疫的人群中,2.1%的人感染了麻疹。麻疹疫苗的有效性很高。研究表明,一剂疫苗可将麻疹风险降低91.9%(95%置信区间:81.4 - 96.4%),两剂疫苗可将风险降低97.3%(95%置信区间:95.5 - 98.4%)。未发现免疫力下降的证据。我们的调查显示,大量儿童没有免疫接种记录。
本研究结果表明,疫情复发可能是由于大量易感儿童未接种疫苗所致。本疫苗有效性研究不支持疫苗接种失败是一个促成因素。
