Schoolgirl rubella vaccination commenced in New South Wales in 1971. Serological follow up of 242 girls, four to five years after vaccination, showed that 9% of girls had missed the vaccination programme. Only 5% of vaccinees were still susceptible to rubella in comparison with 27% of unvaccinated male controls. The efficacy of the programme is thus well demonstrated. Screening for vaccine failures at the time of prescribing contraceptives is suggested as a means of detecting schoolgirl vaccine failures. It is noted that the first cohort of schoolgirl vaccinees has not yet reached the peak childbearing age range.
1971年,新南威尔士州开始对女学生进行风疹疫苗接种。在接种疫苗四到五年后,对242名女孩进行血清学随访,结果显示9%的女孩未接种疫苗。与27%未接种疫苗的男性对照相比,只有5%的接种者仍对风疹易感。因此,该计划的有效性得到了充分证明。建议在开避孕药时对疫苗接种失败者进行筛查,以此作为检测女学生疫苗接种失败的一种方法。需要注意的是,首批女学生疫苗接种者尚未达到生育高峰期年龄范围。
