为了评估自1998年以来意大利为提高疫苗接种覆盖率而采取的行动的影响，2003年进行了一项全国计划免疫调查。总的来说。4602名12-24个月的儿童参加了这项研究;计算了三剂DT、脊髓灰质炎、HBV、百日咳和Hib的覆盖率，以及大于或等于16个月的儿童的一剂MMR/麻疹疫苗的覆盖率。自1998年进行上一次全国调查以来，DT、脊髓灰质炎和HBV的覆盖率一直很高（95%），而百日咳、Hib和MMR/麻疹则显著增加。百日咳覆盖率达到了95%的目标，Hib接近目标（87%）。然而，提高孕产妇死亡率（77%）仍然是国家的优先事项。(C)2004爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
To evaluate the impact of actions taken in Italy since 1998 to improve vaccination coverage, a national EPI-survey was performed in 2003. Overall. 4602 children aged 12-24 months participated in the study; coverage was calculated for three doses of DT, polio, HBV, pertussis, and Hib, and for one dose of MMR/measles vaccine for children greater than or equal to 16 months of age. Since 1998, when the last national survey was conducted, DT, polio, and HBV coverage have remained consistently high (95%), while pertussis, Hib, and MMR/measles significantly increased. Pertussis coverage reached the 95% target, and Hib is close to target (87%). Improving MMR coverage (77%), however, remains a national priority. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
