尽管疫苗接种覆盖率超过95%，但荷兰于2013年5月开始爆发麻疹疫情。截至8月28日，共有1 226例报告病例，包括82例住院治疗。预计疫情将持续。大多数病例是正统新教徒（n= 1，087/1，186; 91.7%）和未接种疫苗的人（n= 1，174/1，217; 96.5%）。实施了一项独特的疫情控制干预措施：向居住在麻疹-腮腺炎-风疹疫苗接种覆盖率低于90%的城市的所有6-14个月的儿童发出麻疹-腮腺炎-风疹疫苗接种的个人邀请。
Despite vaccination coverage over 95%, a measles outbreak started in May 2013 in the Netherlands. As of 28 August, there were 1,226 reported cases, including 82 hospitalisations. It is anticipated that the outbreak will continue. Most cases were orthodox Protestants (n=1,087/1,186; 91.7%) and unvaccinated (n=1,174/1,217; 96.5%). A unique outbreak control intervention was implemented: a personal invitation for measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccination was sent for all children aged 6-14 months living in municipalities with MMR vaccination coverage below 90%.
