UNLABELLED
Diphtheria is a life-threatening respiratory tract infection that causes outbreaks in susceptible populations. Between April and May 2018, an outbreak of diphtheria occurred in the eThekwini district. A school-based outbreak vaccination response was initiated to target vulnerable children and adolescents.
CONTRIBUTION
This study adds to the limited data describing a school-based vaccination in an outbreak response and highlights successes and challenges. School-based outbreak vaccination response can rapidly increase vaccine coverage; however, additional community engagement may be required in vaccine-hesitant populations.
未标注
白喉是一种危及生命的呼吸道感染疾病，可在易感人群中引发疫情。2018年4月至5月期间，伊泰夸尼地区爆发了白喉疫情。针对弱势儿童和青少年启动了以学校为基础的疫情疫苗接种应对措施。
贡献
本研究补充了关于在疫情应对中以学校为基础进行疫苗接种的有限数据，并突出了成功经验和挑战。以学校为基础的疫情疫苗接种应对措施可迅速提高疫苗接种率；然而，对于疫苗犹豫人群可能需要更多的社区参与。
