An epidemic of cerebrospinal meningitis (CSM) in the Mongolian People's Republic, starting in 1969, reached its peak in 1974. In that year and in early 1975, 65 000 children in the 0-8-years age group in the main towns and in the provinces were immunized with meningococcal vaccine of serogroup A. The morbidity rates due to CSM were 12 times higher in the non-immunized than in the immunized children. This result demonstrates the value of an immunization programme to control epidemics of CSM.
蒙古人民共和国自1969年开始的脑脊髓膜炎(CSM)疫情,在1974年达到高峰。在该年及1975年初,主要城镇和省份中0至8岁年龄组的65000名儿童接种了A群脑膜炎球菌疫苗。未接种疫苗的儿童中CSM发病率比接种疫苗的儿童高12倍。这一结果证明了免疫规划对于控制CSM疫情的价值。
